After a bit more research, it seems it does not matter who we put in the white house. It all washes and the middle class always loses.
"I raised the question of
“who’s better for the stock market, a Republican or Democratic president?”
On its surface, the answer is surprising: usually a Democrat! From 1926 to 2019, the S&P 500 Index returned 9.1% when we had a Republican president, and 14.9% when we had a Democratic president. That’s a big difference.
Of course, much of the difference is due to Herbert Hoover, who presided over the start of the Great Depression and ended up with an annual return during his presidency of -27.2%!
And the president with the best record is Republican
Calvin Coolidge, with an average stock market return (1923-1929) of more than 30%. Next comes Republican Gerald Ford with an 18.4% return. Democrat
Bill Clinton (1993 – 2000) has the third best annual return of 17%.
The market has also stumbled this year with President Trump in office due to the virtual
nationwide lockdown in response to COVID-19. Fortunately, Wall Street is making a comeback from a market crash in March and set record highs in the NASDAQ Composite and the S&P 500 on Aug. 18.
In reality, it’s best to look at the stock market returns and all three branches of government.
It turns out that when either Republicans or Democrats control all three levels of government (Presidency, House and Senate), the average return is tied.
If you have a divided government (gridlock), it’s better to have a Democrat in the White House and the Republicans controlling at least one house on Capitol Hill. The worst performing group is when a Republican is in the White House and the Democrats control one of the houses on Capitol Hill.
We will find out if this pattern will continue after the next general election on Nov. 4.
