Who Wall Street Likes For President: Kasich 35% Clinton 22% Trump 14% Sanders 0%

[imagine2015]

In a result at odds with national polls, the latest CNBC Fed survey of economists, fund managers and analysts finds Ohio Gov. John Kasich is viewed as having the best policies for the economy and for Wall Street.

A 42 percent plurality says a Kasich presidency would be best for the U.S. economy, followed by 16 percent choosing Democrat Hillary Clinton and 13 percent picking real estate developer Donald Trump. Not a single respondent chose Clinton's Democratic rival Bernie Sanders.


"I am favoring Kasich because of his willingness to work across the aisle, which I believe the stock market will be more comfortable with,'' said one of the 42 respondents. The responses to the political questions were pledged to be kept anonymous.

Kasich also was chosen as the best candidate for the stock market with support from 35 percent of respondents. Clinton followed with 22 percent and Trump was again third with 14 percent. Sanders received no votes and Cruz and Rubio were in the middle of the pack.

1. All the more reason I'm with Bernie.

If wall street hates him, he's my guy.

2. I'll side with the "loser", in this case.

3. They know they can control Kasich and Clinton.

Trump they're not sure about.

Sanders is POISON.


Score another big + for Sanders.

4. Truth of matter, if Sanders or any candidate wants to bring jobs back, or save them, they are going

need Wall Street. Doesn't mean we can't restrict/chide and tax the heck out of them, but outright hostility will do little more than make things worse. Heck, we couldn't even feed ourselves without corporations and Wall Street. And I bet a big bunch of Sanders ranters are glad to get their corporate pay checks.

5. So don't get the fat cats and Wall Street banksters mad at you or they will do bad things.

Thanks for the advice.

I will get on my knees and thank them for all of the good stuff they are doing to improve our living standards.

They are so kind, compassionate and loving to the "little people".

We should be grateful for the jobs they are providing and worship the ground that Trump and other tycoons walk on.

6. Like I said, unless you live on a farm, you couldn't even feed yourself much less

pay for it without corporations. Show shake your fist, rant, curse, if it makes you feel better before turning around and cashing your paycheck and buyiny their products.

7. You know a lot of Wall Street billionnaire farmers?

"cashing your paycheck and buyiny their products."

Have you bought any derivatives or credit default swaps lately?

8. I don't know any, but a lot of them have finaced machinery that brings a large population food.

Look, I don't care much for Wall Street types. But the truth is, without them there will never be enough income for universal healthcare, welfare, education, jobs, etc. Every country we aspire to has something like Wall Street. They've just figured out how to steer them in socially conscious directions, or outright partnered with them in those efforts.
