Big corporations agree with Democrats on progressive policy ideas.
Key Points
In the latest CNBC Global CFO Council poll, U.S. CFOs were asked to choose which of a number of progressive policy proposals would have the most positive and most negative impact on their businesses. The poll found the most support for family-friendly policies like increased funding for child care and mandatory paid maternity leave. Medicare for all and universal basic-income proposals were seen as most likely to have a negative impact on the large corporations the CFO council members represent.
Maternity leave and child care also have wide support among the general U.S. population. Last quarter's CNBC All-America Economic Survey found 84% of Americans, while 75% support increasing federal funding for child care.
