You might think taxes are the biggest issue for small-business voters, with all the sparring between President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney over who should get an extension of the Bush-era tax cuts.

This month's poll of 797 small-business owners and bosses, to be released Thursday, shows a gaping hole in campaign discussions about small business.
