The Three Tests CEOs Will Face In 2026

With a possible shakeup in Congress, CEOs face three critical tests.

• The Price Test - Do you charge Americans fairly?
  • Voters want CEOs to know most of all (25%) that costs are simply too high, and they expect them to make affordable products.
• The Trust Test - Whose side are you on?
  • Two thirds of American voters believe businesses should stay politically neutral; but many suspect a partisan skew to industry sectors.
• The Credibility Test - Will people believe you?
  • Many voters think the system works very well for large US companies, and far fewer view US company leaders favorably.
