Annualized bond returns during presidential terms
As expected, the volatility in the bond market is much less than equities. Since 1977, only president Biden his tracking to have negative annualized fixed income returns over the course of their administration.

You're fatal flaw, is that all those numbers are BS.
They also fail to account for the Congress that held the majority at those points.
Maybe try a bit harder next time.

Lol it took me a Minute to realize you were doing it like Golf Scores . Lower = Better
Impressive thank you for the Work put in .
Imagine Trumps economy without Covid-19 . Clinton has to get his due because of the Balanced Budget and I'll admit I thought he would be on top .
Obama's economy was riddled with War and the 2008 market Crash .
Reagan I thought would do better and the rest are a little before my time .

Clinton did balance the budget with Rs running both house and Senate and they failed to say guilty when they Impeached him.
