We Built That: Small Business Abandons Romney and Supports Obama, 47%-39%

More evidence that the roof is caving in on Mitt Romney came today from a poll of small business owners conducted by George Washington University School of Political Management, which found Obama leading Romney, 47%-39%.

Not only is Obama leading Romney, but the George Washington University poll also found that small business owners thought President Obama was more supportive of them than Mitt Romney by 39%-31% margin, with 28% undecided.

Republicans love to claim that Obama is unfit to be president because he has never run a business, but small business owners are supporting Obama because he understands their concerns. Mitt Romney has no idea what it is like to run a small business in today’s economy, and even worse, he appears to have no interest in learning.

This poll was taken before the hidden camera video that gave Americans their first look at how Mitt Romney really feels about them, but it looks like the roof has been caving in on Romney for a few weeks now. Romney’s support seems limited to conservative billionaires, Mormons, and rank and file Republicans who are stuck with him.

Obama’s message that the economy has gotten better from where it was, but isn’t where it needs to be seems to be resonating with many small business owners. This election is boiling down to a matter of trust, and like the rest of the country, small business owners don’t trust Mitt Romney to support them.
