Some of the nation’s investors are dumping Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, according to a new Bloomberg/Morning Consult poll.
When asked which presidential candidate would be better for their investment portfolios, investors back in June favored Trump over Hillary Clinton by 17 points, 50-33. But in the new poll his lead is down to two percent, 42-40.
Should the nation go into another economic recession in the coming four years, Trump enjoyed only a two-point lead, 41-39, among investors asked who they would feel more confident with in the Oval Office, despite the real estate magnate’s frequent claims that he survived and thrived in the recent recession.
This poll was conducted online by Morning Consult for Bloomberg from Aug. 11-14. The survey includes a sample of 880 individuals nationally with money in the stock market and mutual funds, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.3 percent for that population.
