==The Article==
At the time of writing, the Dow is at 18,281.03. A 65 point decrease is therefore just over a 1/3<sup>rd</sup> of a percent drop in the Dow.
[[image:TrumpAndTheDow_BakerInsititute.png|frameless|500px|right]]Donald Trump is currently polling at 43.8%, versus Hillary Clinton at 48.3%. If Mr. Trump were to poll at 50%, then these numbers suggest that the Dow would have a very bad day, losing more than 2.2% of its value and falling back below 17,900. Likewise, if Mr. Trump were to drop 6% in the polls, these numbers suggest that the Dow might surge to a new record high.
<h3>Statistical significance and explanatory power</h3>
The correlation between Donald Trump’s poll numbers and the performance of the Dow is highly statistically significant. The odds of finding this correlation by chance are less than one in ten thousand.
