The stock market is a good investment for those who have extra money to invest in the stock market.  But for your average working American, it's difficult to find that money when the government takes away 12+% of your wages at the point of a gun and then lies to you about putting it in a Social Security trust fund for you to have later.

If the average worker was allowed to put that 12% into the stock market instead, that worker would retire as a millionaire.

I’m too lazy to research it, but has any sitting president in modern history lost  re-election with the stock market doing so well?

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

Gerald Ford.

Keep in mind though that there have been only six Presidents since 1900 who have lost an election bid.

Howard Taft
Herbert Hoover
Gerald Ford
Jimmy Carter
George HW Bush
Donald Trump*
