Who will leave the Eurozone

Bloomberg took the pulse of global investors about the future of the Eurozone:

As the World Economic Forumâ??s annual meeting gets underway, 59 percent of respondents in a Bloomberg Global Poll said one or more of the 17 euro nations will quit by 2016, including 11 percent who see an exit within 12 months. Respondents were divided over whether Portugal would default, while a majority expressed confidence in Spain.
