56% : The heirs of David Koch, Sr. had kept a low-profile until February, when they announced a $75 million gift that will fund an ambulatory care center in Julia Koch's name at NYU Langone's West Palm Beach location.
46% : With election day less than a week away, it doesn't appear that any of the Kochs' money has gone to support Trump.
