Americans have a dim view of big business, saying in a new poll that large U.S. corporations are much better at creating good jobs in foreign countries than at home.

Results of a Gallup survey released Tuesday showed respondents have more confidence in small businesses than large ones as the economy continues to struggle to recover from the Great Recession.

Asked which make greater contributions to developing new products and technologies in the U.S., 60% of respondents said small businesses and just 35% said big corporations.

"Large U.S. companies clearly have an image problem," Gallup said of the findings from its poll of 1.005 adults.

Not an image problem, unless one wants to promote a false image, just seems to be true.
