With the recent rise in Donald Trump's poll numbers, Wall Street is starting to contemplate the prospect of a better-than-expected Republican Party showing on Election Day.
"It's incredible to see how much the US election has changed in recent weeks," Strategas' Daniel Clifton wrote in a report to clients Thursday.
"The FBI report of new emails from Hillary Clinton's private server has turned the election from a referendum on Trump to a referendum on Clinton. ... In our meetings this week in NY and Boston, it was clear to us that investors are not prepared for a Republican sweep."

Does anyone remember election night in 1980? I’ve heard people say this brings back memories of it.
I’m sure investors in New York and Boston are not ready. This Texan investor is most certainly prepared and looking forward to Trump’s win!
When to buy,that is the question.
Companies that rely on “Crony Capitalism” such as Goldman Sachs, Citi Bank, renewable energy companies etc. will take a hit when Trump is elected. Companies that depend on true free enterprise will have the opportunity to win big or fail in accordance with free market principles.
Strange times when a GOP sweep isn’t cheered by Wall St.
Wall Street should be pleased. A Trump win will send stocks up.
We also had Carville do the trash-can-on-the-head thing that year. I sure am hoping we get to have that much fun on Tuesday night.
Not really, the GOP are globalists, Trump isn’t. Wall St doesn’t want Trump. Bad for bis.
It has so much adapted itself to Democrat voodoo politics.
Trump already warned of a slump, and I’m sure it will come as companies abandon the old artificial gravy trains and a new investment cycle begins.
A lot of what stocks do will depend on what Trump announces as plans. I hope he’s got a careful message that takes pains to be understandable.
Kiting days will be over; however old fashioned investment days will begin again.
“I’m sure investors in New York and Boston are not ready.”
There is no such thing! They are not “investors” they are thieves who get rich diddling the marketplace, and taking the hard-earned money from the small investor who is simply looking to participate even-handedly in our economy. Like the pr!cks at Lehman brothers (and my then broker, Morgan Stanley) who f-cked me out of tens of thousands of 401k dollars I had invested in that company.
The Democrats opened doors of trickery, and these unethical folks walked through it.
“better-than-expected” = UNexpected = morons
I am ready. I hope investors panic and sell November 9, because I am ready to buy if stocks go on sale. Nothing would please me more than buying stocks at a discount from panicking democrats.
Yes, I lived out West and came home from work about 5pm (AZ-MST) to enjoy an evening of watching election night results on CNN (only game in town then).
It was still full daylight out. Within about 15-20 minutes of sitting down they announced Reagan had won just based on what happened back East. It was very shocking.
On the Friday night before the election, in Johnny Carson’s monologue, he had a piece in it about how “close the election is and nobody knows what’s going to happen, not the TV news people, press, etc”
It’s quite possible.
