I think this data isn't fair because Trumps first term ended after the covid crash and Bidens term began at the bottom of the covid crash.
Adjusting for this externality would be unfair pi-hacking but it would favor Trump more overall. Trump would benefit in the technology sector. Biden would benefit in healthcare and consumer staple sectors.
