Abstract:

The question explored in this paper is the relationship between national politics and the stock market.

There is an interesting relationship between Washington and Wall Street that has existed in the United

States for decades that many citizens either do not know or do not understand. Government has had an

increasingly influential role in the economy of the United States, particularly since the creation of the

Federal Reserve. We seek to understand and explain the impact the balance of power in Washington and

political activity can have on the performance of the stock market.
