Agreed, RedManBlueState. The recent bounce notwithstanding, Obama is no good for long-term investments. His micro-management approach to engineering our economy to be “fairer” for our children is going to lengthen and exacerbate this crisis. 1981-1982 was the worst recession since WWII before this one. Reagan got us out of that thing and his economic policies touched off 7 years of unimpeded economic expansion- the second longest such stretch in our nation’s history. Even Clinton (at the urging of a Republican Congress) enacted positive, pro-market, supply side policies in the 1990′s in response to the 1990-1992 recession (which was also a bad one). Obama, radical ideologue that he is, is reversing all of the Reagan/Clinton policies as the “failed policies of the past.” Instead, he’s loading us up with onerous regulations, expanding government, increasing government spending at rates that far outstrip inflation rates over the past few years, redistributing wealth through his proposed tax code, etc. My prediction is we will enjoy zero substantial growth under the man and his policies- we will see another recession (and soon!) after we get out of this one, if Obama has his way economically. He’s just so anti-growth, anti-capitalism there is no way he will be successful.

March 2009:This is no longer an academic exercise.
Nor is it funny. The market is a perfect measure of current expectations on future economic health. The expected effect of socialist policies on free markets is clearly negative. I you want to debate some better ideas for immediate improvement…see 1982 and 2002. Cutting the captital gains tax would send a signal that would bounce the market overnight. This is not about improving the economy, it is about CHANGING the economy. Hold on to you hats.

Poll numbers were extracted from the Real Clear Politics Average of Polls during the time of the campaign. The final “poll” number for each candidate is the election result. The market values are the DOW Jones Industrial Average as reported by Yahoo after the close of the markets.

So how exactly did you code the polling data, and whose polls are you using? Did you assign specific dates for the poll values to be assigned to, as polls occur over date ranges? And if you used more than one poll source, could you please identify the weighting you gave to each value included for one particular day?

I am currently conducting research on the correlation between market movements and poll results, and would appreciate if you could please diclose some of you methodology and your sources for polling data.
