What the Candidates Think
Obama: President Obama’s "Economy Built to Last" envisions the United States as a global leader in technology and innovation and his plans are aimed at creating what he calls the jobs and economy of the future. Development of renewable energy and a robust green tech sector are central to his plans for both energy independence and economic growth.
Romney: Mitt Romney’s “Plan for a Stronger Middle Class” centers on strengthening traditional domestic manufacturing and energy sources, and reducing dependence on imports. Reduction of taxes and government regulations is key to his vision for both energy independence and small business growth.
More Americans say the middle class will fare better if President Barack Obama is re-elected than if Mitt Romney wins, by 53% to 43%. (Gallup, Oct. 3, 2012)
