Trump has recently resisted calls to release his tax returns. About 20% of voters in the poll believe his claims.
More than a fourth (43 percent) of voters said Trump's investments, income, and real estate amount to around $5 billion or less, while 37% said they didn't know or had no opinion. Nearly half (46 percent) estimated Clinton at less than $1 billion.

Voters were also asked to estimate Trump's and Clinton's net worths, compared to other people: (in order) an average American household, a doctor or lawyer, NBA star LeBron James, Oprah Winfrey, Warren Buffett, or Bill Gates. About a quarter (23 percent) correctly guessed that Trump is closest to Winfrey, who has a net worth of $3.2 billion. Voters were almost as likely (21 percent) to guess that Trump's wealth is close to Bill Gates. About the same amount guessed that Clinton's wealth is closest to James.
Like Trump, Clinton's worth has also come under scrutiny. The former secretary of state and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, have amassed over $153 million, mostly from public speaking fees.
