The stock market sprinted ahead in early action Tuesday but then gave back most of the gains. Meanwhile, two optimism gauges sent contradictory messages.
The IBD/TIPP Economic Optimism Index slid 5.4 points to 53.2 in early June, an abrupt comedown from May's 15-year high. President Donald Trump's decision to escalate the China trade war by hiking tariffs on May 10 loomed large in the reversal.

If you're keeping score at home, the tally is Raghavan Mayur 2, Karl Rove zero.
A lot of people are walking into Raghavan Mayur’s office in Ramsey these days to ask how he conducts polls.
In the cornucopia of pro-Clinton polling that preceded the 2016 presidential election, two polls stood out as outliers: the USC/LA Times tracking poll and the Investor's Business Daily/TIPP tracking poll.
