A recent poll of individual advisor members of the Financial Services Institute (FSI) found that those representatives overwhelmingly believe former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney will win the Republican presidential nomination, the Senate will shift to Republican control and that the economy will stay flat while taxes will go up. The 3,000 advisors who responded to the FSI poll also say that the Department of Labor (DOL) should not redefine the term "fiduciary."
FSI asked its advisors 10 questions. Here's how the responses played out.
