Investors wary of election's impact on portfolios: CFP poll

A new poll from the Certified Financial Planner (CFP) Board revealed 83% of CFP clients believe the election results will have an effect on their financial portfolios and their general financial decisions. CFP Board CEO Kevin Keller joins Wealth! to discuss these results. Keller acknowledges that while the economy has demonstrated strength, "consumer sentiment has been lagging behind."
