Clinton or Trump? How Executives at Davos See Their Chances
20th January 2016
At the end of a luncheon for The Wall Street Journal’s CEO Council in Davos, Switzerland, an informal, highly unscientific poll was taken on a question that has stirred brisk debate: the U.S. presidential contest. The approximately 40 top executives were asked: Show of hands, how many of you expect Donald Trump to be the next president?
No hands.
How many expect him to be the Republican nominee?
A few hands in the air.
How many of you expect Hillary Clinton to be the next president?
Nearly every hand in the room shot up.
There. Now we know how the Crust would vote … possibly the best endorsement for Trump obtainable.
