Michael Bloomberg and French President Emmanuel Macron

Morning Consult has released a new poll in partnership with Bloomberg as part of the Global Business Forum, Wednesday, September 26th highlighting business leaders’ belief in the economic benefits of globalization and the fear that the global economy has gotten off on the wrong track.

Bloomberg’s Global Business Forum gathers heads of states and CEOs to pursue common interests and economic prosperity. The poll, released on Tuesday, September 25th finds that while most Americans agree on cooperation, there is a divide in other areas. 44% of Americans said that the US should act as a convener for the world’s problems while 38% said the US needs to put its own interests first. 36% also believe that free trade has helped other countries other than the US.

The Bloomberg Global Business Forum kicks off with a keynote address by UK Prime Minister Theresa May. May will also participate in an interview with IBM CEO Ginni Rometty on free trade as a driver of growth throughout the world.

At the #BloombergGBF on Wednesday, more than 70 heads of state and delegation will join over 200 CEOs from around the world to discuss common goals and foster economic prosperity for future generations. https://t.co/5i7mcMjVJB pic.twitter.com/ZsAymDjCec
