The Global Traders Association received some notoriety when its Pre-Brexit tracking polls consistently indicated by a wide margin that the referendum would pass. We asked respondents which side they thought would win, not which side they favored and asked for any short comments they had. By conducting the survey anonymously and avoiding the question for those who had a vote which side they favored, we believe we got a better view of sentiment then a survey taker on the street would get from those reluctant to express their true feelings.

We have run one initial Trump vs. Clinton survey including overseas residents and were surprised to see a predominantly non-U.S. survey group showing that 78% of respondents indicated they expect Trump would win. We are now running a second survey with a heavier U.S. base to see how U.S. participants feel the election will turn out. When we have the results we will send them to survey participants along with representative comment from those who include them.

Whether you are a U.S. resident or not, we encourage you to participate in the survey so we have as large a participation base as possible. We will be repeating this poll several times leading up to the election so you can see how sentiment trends may be developing.

In appreciation for participating in our poll, we are thrilled to give you this exclusive report, U.S. Presidential Election: Implications for Investors and Markets.

Who Will Be the Next U.S. President?
