A new poll of Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) by CNBC shows that a majority of experts believe Vice President Kamala Harris will win the presidential election in November.
According to the Q3 CNBC CFO Council Survey, 55% believe the Vice President is more prepared to lead, despite the continued false perception that failed businessman Donald Trump would be better for the economy. When Trump was still facing President Joe Biden, the same council gave him the edge at 58%.
In reality, the Biden-Harris administration has boosted the nation's economy to once again be a global leader strong enough to lift other nation's economies. At press time, the inflation rate was 2.5%, down from August's 2.8%.
The CFO survey also got into the weeds of the House and Senate races, most of which have been overshadowed by the main contest between the Vice President and Trump. Forty-five percent of CFOs predict the Democrats will keep control of the Senate and the GOP will keep control of the House, while another 29% expect a flip in control between parties, but for Congress to remain divided overall.
Fresh off his endorsement for Vice President Harris, billionaire Mark Cuban spoke about the glaring differences in effectiveness between the two candidates.
On Wednesday, the Harris campaign released an 82-page economic blueprint for an economy designed for middle-class opportunity. In her speech to the Economic Club of Pittsburgh, the Vice President outlined her plan. “I believe that most companies are working hard to do the right thing by their customers and the employees who depend on them,” VP Harris said. “We must work with them to grow our economy.”
