Poll Favors Obama as Best for Stock Market, Economy

As the real polls closed, our unofficial Web poll showed investors believe Obama will be better for stock markets and the economy.

The most significant number may be the 6 percent who don't believe it matters who is elected.

Regardless of who is elected tonight, he will face serious problems in the economy and a smothering debt.

These problems and the skyrocketing debt may curb any new plans and make living up to campaign promises difficult.

Investors would do well to remember that the market always looks forward, so today's election results will be factored into pricing immediately.
