I think any attempt at an honest poll in this cycle is going to fail. Those who may be inclined to support trump have been outrageously shamed as idiots, racists etc to the point where they hesitate to answer honestly when asked.
Given Trump's lack of specifics on a lot of things, I would have to anticipate that Wall Street's support of Hilliary has to do with the fact they know they can "buy" her, and that Drumpf is less predictable. She's also hoping to heavily penalize small businesses that are not public via the death tax.
I think they're being penny wise and pound foolish in that, but I am pretty sure that's the logic.
