The S&P 500 , the broad measure of stocks of the 500 largest US companies, is up 29% since Trump took office in January 2017. But they were up 46% during the same 645 day period at the start of President Barack Obama's tenure.Trump's stock market also lags a bit behind the 36% gain during the same period at the start of President George H.W. Bush from 1989 through mid-1991, and the 29% rise at the start of President Bill Clinton's tenure.
The S&P fell 26% following the bursting of the Internet stock bubble nearly a year before he took office.The percentage changes were calculated through the close of trading Tuesday, and the comparable period in the earlier administrations. Stocks rallied on Tuesday with news that the United States was delaying some tariffs from taking effect.
Since the stock market is forward looking, a more accurate measurement would be from Election Day, not Inauguration Day. Trump, Election Day to Aug 13 (693 days), S&P returned 37%. Obama 693 days after Election Day, S&P returned 19%. Only prez Trump was Bush 41, +42%
