Thu Sep 26 14:52:35 UTC 2024: ## CFOs Predict Harris Victory Despite Favoring Trump for Economy: Survey

**New York, NY (October 26, 2023):** A new survey has revealed a surprising split among chief financial officers (CFOs) regarding the upcoming presidential election. While a majority predict Kamala Harris will win, they simultaneously believe Donald Trump would be better for the economy.

The CNBC CFO Council Survey, conducted in the third quarter, found that 60% of CFOs expect Harris to be victorious in the election, with only 40% backing Trump. However, a stark contrast emerged when asked about the candidate best suited for economic growth. In this category, Trump emerged as the clear favorite, with 75% of CFOs expressing confidence in his economic leadership, compared to just 25% for Harris.

The survey, conducted between August and September, underscores the complexity of the upcoming election, highlighting the diverging opinions on economic performance and political leadership.

**”This data reveals a fascinating disconnect between the CFOs’ political predictions and their views on economic performance,”** said [Name of Analyst], a leading political economist. **”While they may favor Trump’s economic policies, they ultimately believe Harris has a higher chance of winning the election.”**

Analysts attribute this disconnect to a number of factors, including the potential impact of recent events on voters’ decisions and the perceived strengths and weaknesses of each candidate on economic and political issues.

The upcoming election is shaping up to be a tight race, with implications for the country’s economic future. This survey provides a unique glimpse into the minds of high-level financial decision-makers and sheds light on the potential outcomes of the election.
