Forbes survey: More than a third of Wall Street leaders are opposed to Trump's economic policies

Forbes recently conducted a survey of President Trump's economic policies, contacting 50 of Wall Street's most influential senior figures, including billionaire investors, heads of major institutional asset managers, and top U.S. wealth advisers, to find out their views on Trump's economic strategy since taking office. These respondents were chosen because of their broad influence in the financial world. Of this group of financial heavyweights - more than half still supported Trump's economic policies when he returned to the White House in January - 72% now express disappointment with his team's economic strategy, and 66% explicitly say they no longer support his economic claims. Notably, more than a third of those who were supportive a few weeks ago have shifted their stance, with a majority (54%) believing that Trump has failed to deliver on his original promises.
