I’m not sure what’s wrong with the other 26%, but that’s a question for another time. The fact is that this survey of 751 business CEOs shows clearly that they think Obama’s economic policies would be a disaster, and would destroy jobs and weaken the economy.
Chief Executive magazine’s most recent polling of 751 CEOs shows that GOP presidential candidate John McCain is the preferred choice for CEOs. According to the poll, which is featured on the cover of Chief Executive’s most recent issue, by a four-to-one margin, CEOs support Senator John McCain over Senator Barack Obama. Moreover, 74 percent of the executives say they fear that an Obama presidency would be disastrous for the country.
“The stakes for this presidential election are higher than they’ve ever been in recent memory,” said Edward M. Kopko, CEO and Publisher of Chief Executive magazine. “We’ve been experiencing consecutive job losses for nine months now. There’s no doubt that reviving the job market will be a top priority for the incoming president. And job creating CEOs repeatedly tell us that McCain’s policies are far more conducive to a more positive employment environment than Obama’s.”
Of course, I’ve been saying the same thing for months. But, it’s nice to hear business people saying it as well.

The other 30% are afraid if they tell the truth, Obama will punish them. Cowardice and fear are not rewarded, but the cowards have hope, as promised by Obama.
