    MORE voters with a stake in the stock market say Donald Trump would be better as president for their portfolios than Hillary Clinton, with about one in four saying they'll alter their asset mix if the Republican is elected and a similar share saying they would do so if the Democrat wins.

    A Bloomberg/Morning Consult national poll on investment, tax and economic issues shows voters with money in the market pick Mr Trump over Mrs Clinton, 50 per cent to 33 per cent, as the person they think will be better for their portfolios. Those with more than US$50,000 invested answer the question almost identically as smaller investors.
