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

Forbes recently conducted an investigation into President Trump's economic policies, contacting 50 of the most influential figures on Wall Street, including billionaire investors, heads of large institutional asset management companies, and top financial advisors in the United States, to understand their views on Trump's economic strategy since taking office.

These interviewees were selected for their extensive influence in the financial world. Among these heavyweight figures in the financial industry - more than half of whom still supported his economic policies when Trump returned to the White House in January this year - 72% now express disappointment in his team's economic strategy, with 66% explicitly stating that they no longer support his economic views. It is worth noting that among those who were supportive just a few weeks ago, more than a third have changed their stance, with the majority (54%) believing that Trump has failed to fulfill his original promises.
