Forget the FORTUNE cover. Business Financial Advisors' LEAST favorite candidate is Clinton
Edited on Mon Aug-13-07 09:04 AM by wyldwolf
According to 205 advisers surveyed by the Brinker Barometer, a quarterly gauge of financial adviser confidence and sentiment towards the economy, 36% of advisers said former New York Mayor and Republican candidate Rudolph W. Giuliani would have the most positive effect on the U.S. economy and investing.

When asked, “Which candidates would be worst for the U.S. economy and investing?” Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., garnered 60% of the vote, followed by John Edwards, another Democratic presidential candidate and a former senator from North Carolina (13%). Mr. Obama got 12% of the vote, followed by Mr. Giuliani (6%), Mr. McCain, (6%) and Mr. Romney (4%).

“Being such a Republican-dominated industry, Hillary Clinton is despised because she represents everything that Republicans dislike,” Mr. Fenton said. Some of the concern about her policies includes her health care plans and the perception that she would raise taxes, he said.

The Brinker Barometer is conducted online among the 2,150 advisers at Brinker Capital Inc., a Berwyn, Pa., wealth management company, which manages about $8.9 billion.

So, it's bad FORTUNE thought she was business's favorite. Is it bad this poll finds she is their least favorite?

1. Oh Goody. An Online Sample From A Single Company.
Some megalomaniacs reserve the right to disagree, OK?

... I would consider the "Online Sample From A Single Company" a little more reliable.

5. It seems to me I've heard over the years that the stock market and the overall economy do better
with Democratic administrations. Is this true?
