I agree with ccerenz2. I think the high negative correlation between Obama's ratings and stock market movements simply means Obama supporters (with stimulus money, no less) are trying to "buy" favor with voters by buying more stocks when the polls show that Obama is slipping. Have you noticed that quite often the market will surge upward at the end of a down day? China has done the same thing--the Shanghai market had a 100% runup in the past 10 months. And it seems evident that market has risen with the "help" of stimulus money also.
