Dow Jones growth by President
The Dow Jones has hit an all time high of 27,000. This is part of why Trump’s approval ratings are increasing. What I thought would be interesting is to compare the increase in the Dow Jones at 30 months, by President. The list in order is:
- Roosevelt +138%
- Coolidge +66%
- Eisenhower +61%
- Obama +52%
- Clinton +42%
- Ford +41%
- Trump +36%
- Bush GHW +29%
- Reagan +27%
- Harding +23%
- Johnson +18%
- Truman +10%
- Kennedy +7%
- Nixon -9%
- Carter -11%
- Bush GW -15%
- Hoover -69%
Those in bold were re-elected
It will be interesting to see how they stand in another year.
