Partisan D.E.W.

Traditionally, financial advisors have been strongly Republican.  My unscientific feel is that they are split about 60% Republican and 40% Democratic.  So, it was slightly surprising to see 50.6% of financial advisors disapprove of the President's first 100 days, while only 40.6% approve and 7.9% have no opinion.

Far more surprising to me is the difference between those who strongly approve or strongly disapprove.  40.3% of financial advisors strongly disapprove of the President, while only 20.3% strongly approve.  The strength of this emotion is surprising to me and should be worrisome.

It reminds me of the famous Distant Early Warning line in Alaska or screaming "INCOMING" on the battlefield.
