But there is a catch: in a head-to-head match up he would lose to Democratic candidate Joe Biden in the next Presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>Asked which candidate they support for president in 2020, 36% of millionaires named Trump, up from 32% in May, according to the Q4 CNBC Millionaire Survey. The second-favorite candidate is former Vice President <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\">Joe Biden<\/a>, with 14%. Sen. <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\">Elizabeth Warren<\/a> came in third, with 8%. The survey was conducted before Michael Bloomberg entered the race.<\/p>\n<p>Millionaire support for Trump has also grown over the past three years. In mid-2016, Trump trailed <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\">Hillary Clinton<\/a> by 13 points among millionaires. Of millionaires today who have donated to a campaign, the largest number \u2014 39% \u2014 have donated to Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Still, their support for Trump \u2014 and their all-important donor dollars \u2014 depends in large part on who he faces in 2020. When asked who they would support in one-to-one match-ups, Joe Biden beats Trump 48% to 41%, according to the survey. Biden would even get 18% of Republican millionaire votes in a Trump-Biden match-up.<\/p>\n<p>The only other Democratic candidate who beats Trump among millionaires is Pete Buttigieg, who edges past Trump 46% to 43%. Trump easily beats both <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\">Bernie Sanders<\/a> and Elizabeth Warren among millionaires.<\/p>\n<p>While the most popular answer from respondents on the question of the issue they will vote on in 2020 was voting Trump out of office, representing 29% of survey takers, that illustrates the extreme partisan divide consistent with past surveys. It was 32% in the Spring 2019 Millionaire Survey. Other issues typically popular with Republican voters split support, including the economy (17%), immigration (10%), &#8220;draining the swamp&#8221; (7%) and taxes\/government spending (6%).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The main reason millionaires back Trump is the economy. Nearly half say he is good for the economy, versus a third who say Biden would be good for the economy. More than 60% said Sanders and Warren would be bad for the economy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The race is so fluid right now,&#8221; said George Walper, president of Spectrem Group. &#8220;The only constant is Trump.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Walper said that 20 years ago, millionaires would have been much more predominantly Republican. But today they are more reflective of an evenly divided American public.<\/p>\n<p>Article source: https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2019\/12\/20\/trump-gains-support-among-millionaires-cnbc-survey-finds.html<\/a>\r\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump is the favorite candidate of America&#8217;s millionaires \u2014 and his support seems to be strengthening.
