Hassett is the most likely successor to the Federal Reserve Chairman, but he is the most unpopular.

According to Odaily Planet Daily, although the market widely expects Kevin Hassett, director of the White House National Economic Council, to be appointed as the next Federal Reserve chairman, respondents in a CNBC Fed survey clearly stated that he was not their first choice.

This December survey shows that 84% of respondents believe President Trump will nominate Hassett to head the Federal Reserve. However, only 11% think the president "should" do so. Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller leads with 47% support, followed by Kevin Warsh with 23%. However, only 5% of respondents believe Trump will nominate either of these two. (Jinshi)
