According to a survey conducted by the British newspaper Financial Times on September 28, 2025, a large majority of academic economists would prefer Christopher Waller to succeed Jerome Powell as chairman of the Federal Reserve next year. However, few of them believe he will win the position. The survey was targeted, and its results were published under the headline: 'Economists favor Christopher Waller to lead Fed but expect Trump to pick a loyalist'. The article also mentions other potential candidates for the post.
