With seven days left in the presidential race, Americans are ready for it to be over.
Perhaps none more-so than investors, according to recent research from Edward Jones, which found rising levels of anxiety ahead of election day.
"Many investors become anxious during election season as it's easy to get caught up in every potential policy implication of the presidential race," said Kate Warne, principal and investment strategist for Edward Jones, in a released statement.
More than two-thirds of Americans believe that the outcome of the election will lead to more market volatility in the near term, according to the survey, with 69 percent of respondents expecting increased volatility after the election.
While markets often become more volatile as uncertainty ramps up in the weeks before election day, investors are concerned about the implications of the election results on their long-term savings.
Almost half of respondents, 46 percent, felt like the results of the election will affect their retirement portfolios, yet only 33 percent felt like the outcome will have a negative effect on their retirement.
The survey was conducted Oct. 11 to 13 among a sample of 1,011 respondents.
