FPA/Zogby International Poll 2004 As the issue of jobs and the economy continues to rank among the top concerns for most American voters, nearly two in three likely voters (71%) say that outsourcing jobs overseas hurts the U.S. economy and three in five (62%) say that the U.S. government should tax or legislate against companies who engage in outsourcing, according to a new Foreign Policy Association/ Zogby International survey.

The telephone survey of 1,011 American likely voters was conducted from August 12 through August 14, 2004. Likely voters were chosen at random nationwide from listed residential phone numbers. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3.1 percentage points. Margins are higher in sub-groups.

The survey was conducted by Zogby International and commissioned by the Foreign Policy Association (www.fpa.org) -- a non-profit organization in New York City dedicated to inspiring the American public to learn more about the world.
