The forthcoming elections in the nation are fast approaching. In line with that, speculations of how the big businesses are the biggest losers are continuing to rise.

A past report of the Chicago Tribune revealed of how the big business entities have also been noted to deal with the tensions surrounding elections and the polls. Given the escalating different opinions of the president hopefuls, business entities are also placed in the hot seat on which candidate to support and promote.

The anti-corporate sentiment is rising for this electoral year which is why it has pushed even passive business such as General Electric's Jeffrey Immelt and Pfizer's Ian Read to pinpoint the hurdles, the difficulties and the threats that their firms might have to face in the coming future.

It stands to reason that in terms of business entities dealing with corporate tax reform, as well as the dealings pertaining to the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade treaty, along with the regulatory relief, immigration liberalization, and infrastructure development, sectors such as polls and business often times collide at such certain point in time.

Also, this season's anti-corporate mindset seems fiercer than in the past, and likely to continue under a new president and a new Congress, and voters are showing disdain in many ways for the business leaders rendering their biggest campaign contributions such as former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, according to the same post.

Even Donald Trump is not exempted at all. He has been linked to having issues with Ford Corporation and the affirmed decision of the car company to expand operations in Mexico, as formerly reported by Jobs & Hire.

It remains uncertain for the U.S elections and the big business entities that are struggling with the threats and on whether there is some truth that the big business entities are the greatest losers in the forthcoming polls.
