WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — US voters believe Democrats are better at creating jobs, helping the middle class and health care, but still trust Republicans more on running the economy and foreign affairs, according to a new Zogby Analytics poll.

“Voters give a thumbs up to the Democrats on creating jobs (31 percent — 25 percent), the environment (37 percent — 16 percent), income inequality (33 percent — 16 percent) [and] abortion (34 percent – 22 percent),” the poll, released on Friday, said.

Voters also favor the Democrats on helping the middle class by 34 percent to 24 percent, and protecting Social Security and Medicare by 33 percent to 21 percent, it said.

The nationwide online poll of 3,225 likely voters was conducted June 5-10, 2015, and has a margin of sampling error of +/-1.8 percentage points, pollster John Zogby said.

Meanwhile, voters view Republicans as better for handling the economy by 30 percent to 27 percent, foreign policy by 34 percent to 22 percent, taxes by 29 percent to 25 percent as well as national security by 36 percent to 18 percent, according to the poll.

The Republicans “may only hold leads on four of the twelve issues tested, but those are arguably the top issues facing the country today, according to voters,” Zogby noted.

John Zogby is an internationally renowned pollster, opinion leader and best-selling author, according to the Zogby Analytic Polls web site.
