Now I'm going to read you another statement that Mitt Romney might say about our economy and how to improve it. After I read it, please tell me whether this statement makes you feel more positive or more negative about Mitt Romney. The most important thing we can do right now to help the economy is to get businesses hiring again. Tax rates are too high and we have too many regulations that encourage gaming the system rather than growth, reducing the ability of businesses to compete in the global economy and to invest and create jobs at home. Let's fix the tax code to focus on jobs and growth, while creating incentives and an environment for businesses to succeed.

Still thinking about this proposed tax increase on taxpayers making at least one million dollars per year...If the tax increase were to go into effect, do you believe President (Barack) Obama should use the additional money raised from the tax increase to help pay down the debt and deficit to create a pro-growth economic environment or increase spending on job creation?

Now, which of the following comes closest to your view regarding the proper role of government in the economy?...In the current economic environment, government is not the solution to our economic problems, government is the problem. I would like to see government play an active role in the economy to ensure it benefits people like me, but I am not sure that I can trust government to do this effectively. In the current economic environment, the government must play an active role in regulating the marketplace and ensuring that the economy benefits people like me.

As you may know, hydraulic fracturing or 'fracking' is a process used to develop deposits of natural gas recently discovered in many regions of America. Environmentalists and some residents living near drilling operations worry that fracking can contaminate drinking water sources and worsen climate change. The oil and natural gas industry maintains the process is safe and can create jobs and promote energy independence. Which of the following comes closest to your view of what the federal government should do on this issue?...Ban fracking altogether because it's not safe for the environment. Increase regulation of fracking to protect the environment, but not ban it. Reduce regulation of fracking to encourage more natural gas production.
