Among all millionaire voters surveyed — Democrats, Republicans and independents — Hillary Clinton is still the overall favorite. Clinton was the top candidate among 34 percent of total respondents, followed by Rubio with 13 percent. Trump and Carson tied for third, with 9 percent.

As a point of reference, approximately 5% of the U.S. Adult population has 1 Million in investable assets. Comparatively, the top 5% of incomes exceed $159,000.
