If control of Congress was included in this 'study' you would find a completely different result and by even wider margins.

Subject: [RT] Presidential Stock Market Gains - Losses


To answer a question by a friend I put together the table below.  As I remembered hearing, it is readily apparent that the stock market as measured by the DJIA has fared more than twice as well under a Democratic administration.  I put this table out as a matter of stock interest not political for who knows what effect one administration's policies has on its successor.
