IT Industry Presidential Poll: 'Not Sure' Beats Both Obama and Romney

CIStud writes "A new poll conducted of IT industry executives and integrators shows a divided and unsure industry regarding which presidential candidate is better for Information Technology to prosper. The poll, conducted by JZ Analytics on behalf of CompTIA, shows 'Not Sure' winning in four out of five areas. President Obama holds and edge over Mitt Romney in every category, including which person is best for the IT industry in terms of tax policy (remarkably), access to capital, tech exports, education and privacy."

    Put none of the above on all the ballots. So that people can send a message that they don't want any of the candidates in office. If none of the above wins the election then those that are running are disqualified from the election. Time to chose new candidates.

    Should be pretty obvious. They are voting for social policy. They either don't believe Obama's (and the rest of the Ds) policies are the reason for the bad economy or don't care about that as much as they care about the social stuff.

    I do admit the voter id laws are pushed by Republicans to lower lower class turn out which would benefit the Democrats. Both sides are cheating to win

    Can you point to anything even remotely on this scale democrats have done? You pointed out a horrible and indefensible one republicans did, then said "but both sides are bad" without even one example of democrats do it. It's literally disenfranchising hundreds of thousands of people. Literally. This is not an exageration, it is a fundamental attack on democracy so their side can "win".

    we opened up education to more people. Regular people started going to school, instead of just the elite idle rich and the occasional genius. This is why test scores have been failing in America. It's not because people are dumber, it's because we're trying to uplift more of them. In the past they would have worked like slave for 40 years and then died. The cool thing is that the powers that be are using the lower test scores as an excuse to privatize the school system and reduce the quality of education in America. Ain't American Great?
