Surprise: 70% Of Economists Support Hillary, Not Trump, But 70% Of Economists Are Democrats Anyway

This will be something that comes as a bit of a surprise to people. That economists, academic economists at least, are in general rather more left wing than the rest of the country.

My own view is that neither of them has managed to offer anything compelling as yet and both are offering at least some real pie in the sky stupidities.

yup - not suprising from someone who is planning to vote for Hillary regardless.

Had a fun talk once with an academic economist, went along the lines of them trying convince me that audiing the fed reserve would just make it partisian and compromise its independence.  I asked simply - so you are against Goverment oversight and regulation?  The silence was deafening.
