If it's Prechter's 2012 report it can be downloaded here:

The S&P 500 closed at 2579.36 on 11/1/2017. 20% above that would be 3095, so we're way above the 20% threshold.

so Nov 1, 2017 the closing price of $SPX.X was 2579.36 on Tradestation. So 2579.36 x 1.2 = 3095.23 So according to Bob, if the market stays up above this number by Oct 31, then Trump gets re-elected?

The stat doesn't show 100% odds. In fact if I'm reading it right its only 73% odds.

This election is an outlier.

But Prechter used the DJIA for the research, and the operative numbers are 23,435.01(11-1-17 close), and 28,122.01 (20% gain from the 11-1-17 close). A 20%+ gain was more indicative of an incumbent landslide victory, I believe, but read the report as linked below. It is not an encouragement to make any wagers, of course, but based on current double-digit leads by Biden in the polls, it is certainly interesting. The results were not 100%, but I believe they were over 90%. As to statistical significance there were over 14 cases similar to the current one...

Shouldn’t this update be for the Thursday 8 Oct trading day? Why is it for the previous video it also says for Wednesday 7 Oct? (If you listen to the first 10 seconds of both this video and the one day before..)

Thank you Peter, for the correction about Prechter using the Dow for the data. I noticed that soon after I posted the S&P 500 numbers, oops. So, since the Dow closed today (10/9/20) at 28,587, it would only need to fall 465 points, about 2.26% in order to close below that 20% threshold. That seems easily possible if the market turns down next week to fulfill the lower projections still outstanding, but hanging on by a thread. The drop would be wave C down of a correction, setting things up for a nice Nov/Dec year-end rally.
