If the Dow Jones gets in the 14,000s, which it likely will, Donald Trump will win in a landslide (employment, Iran)

Remember that when it comes to presidential elections, "It's the economy, stupid!"
The stock market is in freefall. Over 20% of Democrats already say they're voting for Trump.
When the economic recession fully sets in, I wonder who America will trust to revive the economy ....
This woman? Or this guy?
I see the stock market is once again considered the measure of how well the economy is doing. It's funny how it is never the measure when it goes up, and its always the measure when it goes down.
Neither Hillary, nor Trump can make the stock market go up non-stop. It is foolish to suggest they could.
I won't vote for either, but obviously Hillary is the better choice.
and the economy and the stock market are two different things.
americans are worried about their jobs and their communities. the stock market is filled with international firms from Asia, Latin America, Europe, and the US, etc, who derive their revenues primarily from outside the US, and don't necessarily employ Americans.
I was a truck driver through past hard times. It is amazing how quick the bad times catch up to American jobs. One day truck stops are packed and the next day they are empty. The same for our roads. Companies stop stocking goods if they think they are going to be stuck with those goods. It has happened many times in the past and I am sure it will happen in the future.
Although the DOW is now down about 2000; I think that some still have some hope. However; if it slides to $15,000 or below; it would not surprise me if panic would not kick in. After seven years in office; I don't think America will blame the Republicans. We tend to throw the eggs at the closest target.
If the market crashes there will be residual effects and people will start panicking so yes, an extended market crash/correction, whatever you want to call it would definitely help Trump.

As it was going up I noted many times it wasn't becuase the economy was doing well and that it would drop as soon as the Fed quit propping it up.

I'm not voting for either but Hillary and better choice never belongs the same sentence.
14000? Here's to hoping it goes sub 10,000. I wouldn't mind seeing it rain brokers.
It'll rain retirees and those nearing retirement, as well. US workers and retirees have $27 Trillion invested in their pension funds and retirement accounts.
If we look at the Mercury Analytics' survey that this US News article is based on, it clearly says Hillary still has an edge (a lead) over Mr. Trump, notwithstanding this alleged 20% crossover. Hillary doesn't care where or whom her votes come from, so long as she has more EV at the end of the night.
Also, don't forget to mention that Hillary gets 14% of the Republican votes, so the net difference on the cross-over votes is only 6%, not 20%.

Finn, come on
many of the admitted liberals on this forum were saying '''18,000 thank you Obama"
so yes it is a measure, at least to many of the low informed posters
