Obama or Romney?  
ENR:  "Which candidate is better
for the construction industry?
With the the 2012 Presidential Election only a few months away Engineering News-Record Magazine unveiled an election poll asking "Which candidate would be better for the construction industry?"

ENR questioned 378 construction executives and here are the results:
  • 71.2% said Romney was the better choice
  • 14.8% said Obama was the better choice
  • 14.0% declined to answer.
Reasoning surrounding the choices include:
  • Claims that Obama is anti-business
  • Others questioned Romney's leadership ability
An unnamed ENR presidential survey participant explained, "The public sector will see more work under Obama, and the private sector will see more work under Romney."
