Survey: More Than Half of Business Leaders Confident in Trump Team's Economic Approach
The 2024 presidential election not surprisingly sparked a wide number and range of reactions from business leaders and their advocates. Endeavor Business Intelligence, the research arm of IndustryWeek parent company Endeavor Business Media, took the temperature of the business community in the days following the vote to get a sense of how strategic priorities, market expectations and confidence levels might be changing.
The EBI Pulse Survey report, "After The Vote," shows that a majority of respondents—58%—are optimistic about the coming year under the incoming Trump administration while one in six don't see things going well. Similarly, more than half of business leaders are at least somewhat confident that the Trump team will capably handle key economic issues such as inflation and regulation.
