Poll: Americans Split Over Best Way To Create Jobs

There is a philosophical divide between the American public over the most effective way to create jobs, according to a new Zogby poll.

The survey shows that 48 percent believe the best was to put Americans back to work is to eliminate regulations and lower taxes for both businesses and individuals. Meanwhile, 46 percent of respondents cited closing tax loopholes, allowing the Bush-era tax cuts to expire and investing in infrastructure.

Party predictably divides the results. 87 percent of those who identified themselves as Republicans cited less taxes and regulations and 80 percent of Democrats opted for the second approach.

The results come as the White House pushes the President’s job proposal and House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) prepares to unveil his.

The poll was conducted between September 8^th and 9th among 2,088 likely voters.
