RANK DATE DROP
1 10/19/1987 ( 20.47 )
2 10/28/1929 ( 12.34 )
3 3/16/2020 ( 11.98 )
4 10/29/1929 ( 10.16 )
5 11/6/1929 ( 9.92 )
6 3/12/2020 ( 9.51 )
7 10/18/1937 ( 9.27 )
8 10/15/2008 ( 9.04 )
9 12/1/2008 ( 8.93 )
10 7/20/1933 ( 8.88 )

8 of the 10 have been under Republicans (Hoover 3, Trump 2, W.Bush 2 & Reagan 1). 2 were under FDR during the 30's

Today's drop was the 2nd largest single day drop ever, but percentage wise it was only -4.84% which places it well below the top 20 percentage drops.
