Bloomberg Quarterly Poll favors Obama!

Global investors, skeptical about President Barack Obama ’s ability to turn around the economy, nonetheless aren’t enamored with the Republican alternatives.

While a plurality of investors said Obama’s re-election would be a bad thing for U.S. markets, 57 percent said in a Bloomberg Global Poll that the current contenders for the Republican presidential nomination aren’t offering good ideas to lessen U.S. economic woes.

(snip)

Gridlock between Democrats and Republicans is a “substantial” barrier to U.S. economic growth, said 56 percent of global investors, and a “modest” barrier, according to an additional 28 percent.

So much for what Bloomberg really wants to say... It's a very worthwhile read with lots of surprising numbers!
