2500 S&P will scare many.

2000 will enable many to see how fake trump is.

While this may be true for some rich investors, the average citizen couldn't even tell you what S&P means.
The majority of citizens are not stock players. They want to pay the rent and feed their kids.
The stock market is not something that is important to most people.
And the majority of those rich investors are repubs.

He polls lowest around the time the stock market dropped 10k points (along with his crazy COVID press briefings). If the stock market is around 20k or under, I am sure he would drop in the 30s approval.

Trump's economy polling drops when the stock market had that 10k drop and recovers after it went back up. Dow shouldn't be the economy but some people are programmed to think so.

That is why Trump does everything he can to keep the stock market going up.

Gallup found in 2017 that 54 percent of people in its poll owned stocks either directly or as part of a fund. While a large portion of total stock is owned by the very rich, I think you’re right that at least some of Trump’s approval comes from those voters who do have an interest in the stock market. They may also be the more silent Trump voters who want to pay as little in taxes as possible and thus refuse to vote for any Democrat.

Identity, race, caste, etc. trump votes.

Economic fear is the big one - Covid will contribute to that.

The propping up of the markets only accounts for some of it, this is the most overvalued market in US history.

He is terrified that he will have to beg Nancy to bail him out after he already burned that bridge.

Eventually time will run out of the Republican Pump and Crash Economy, because it is no different than a check kiting scheme.

It isn’t “kinda sad”.

It’s downright gleeful!

But I won’t be celebrating until/unless it’s safe to do so.

That bubble is going to blow.

I pray it happens soon, if it's going to keep Trump from another term.
