Last week\'s \"fiscal cliff\"deal did little to ease fears among Americans that Washington could harm the US economy or their personal finances in the months to come, according to reporter.

The online poll found that President Barack Obama gets more credit than his Republican adversaries for the agreement, which canceled across-the-board tax increases and postponed broad spending cuts that could have pushed the economy back into recession.

But the deal did little to instill confidence about the nation\'s economic direction as Republicans and Democrats prepare for more showdowns over taxes and spending in the coming months, the poll found.

\"If you had to score it, the Democrats and especially Mr Obama, came out better, but there\'s a lot of uncertainty,\" said Ipsos pollster Clifford Young. \"There\'s no clear winner from this.\" More than two-thirds of those surveyed said they were concerned that their taxes could rise, or their benefits could shrink, while 81 per cent said they were worried that the economy could take another downturn.
