Kamala Harris likely to win election, despite Trump being better on inflation, economy: CNBC CFO survey

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

66% : The majority belief that Harris will win comes despite an equal majority of CFOs (55%) telling the survey that Trump is better on inflation and for the economy.
56% : This week, both candidates have been pressing their case on the economy, with Trump dangling new tax incentives for corporations and Harris attempting to sharpen her economic message in a speech to the Economic Club of Pittsburgh and interview with MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle on Wednesday evening.
43% : Trade and tariffs policy, which is a key talking point of Trump and some economists say will lead to higher inflation, was only cited by 7% of CFOs.
32% : About a third of CFOs (31%) now say Trump will win, while 14% remain unsure of the election outcome.
28% : That's a reversal from the prior CFO survey in Q2 (when President Joe Biden was still the candidate) and a majority of CFOs (58%) believed Trump would win.
