Summary: The economy performs much better during Democratic presidential administrations than during Republican ones.  

Key findings
Since 1949, there has been a Democratic advantage in the average performance of key macroeconomic indicators measuring economic health, including:  

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth
Job growth
Unemployment rate
Growth in inflation-adjusted wages
Growth of market-based incomes per capita
Inflation
Interest rates

This Democratic advantage is across the board in all variables we measure but strongest in private-sector outcomes—notably, business investment, job growth, and the growth of market-based incomes.  

Household income growth (adjusted for inflation) was faster on average and far more equal during Democratic administrations, and the Democratic advantage shows up for every group.  

Why this matters
We suspect that the simple facts on economic performance during Democratic and Republican administrations aren’t well known. Providing accurate economic information at a time of rampant misinformation supports an informed citizenry.  

Full Report
The US economy has performed better when the president of the United States is a Democrat rather than a Republican, almost regardless of how one measures performance…The superiority of economic performance under Democrats rather than Republicans is nearly ubiquitous: it holds almost regardless of how you define success. By many measures, the performance gap is startlingly large. (Blinder and Watson 2016)

This quote is not from an op-ed written by a political pundit; it’s from a 2016 peer-reviewed article in the American Economic Review. Adding in data since this article was written does not change its conclusion. There is still a pronounced Democratic advantage in nearly every measure of macroeconomic performance. Positive indicators like growth in gross domestic product (GDP), income, and wages are faster, while negative indicators like unemployment, inflation, and interest rates are lower. For those who want to skip right to this bottom line, see Table 1.

Besides the pronounced superiority of macroeconomic performance under Democratic presidents, the fruits of economic growth are also distributed substantially more equally under Democratic presidents. This is true even for data that are dominated by market-based incomes and exclude most of the federal government’s safety net and income support payments. It is, in short, not just driven by Democrats being more supportive of using taxes and spending to reduce inequality.

Given how clear the data are, it is striking that public opinion polling has consistently shown that voters rate Republicans more highly as the party that is better at managing the economy.1

The data presented in Blinder and Watson (2016) and in this report obviously cannot claim to measure the causal effect of partisan White House control on economic performance. The president does not have total control over the economy, and there is a lot of luck and chance that determine economic outcomes. Those who prefer Republican stewardship may consider it just bad luck again and again that keeps their preferred policy ideas from translating into faster growth in real time. And bad luck is a real issue in these examinations. For example, both the Obama administration and the Biden administration inherited a depressed macroeconomy that had been buffeted by severe shocks whose aftereffects had to be managed.

But it is our sense that the simple facts on real-time economic performance during Democratic and Republican administrations—and how starkly better this performance is during Democratic administrations—aren’t particularly well known. And these facts constitute important information people should have during this time of rampant misinformation.

Aggregate results
It is difficult to tell what respondents to opinion polls have in mind when they are asked about “the economy.” For example, respondents often rate the Republican party higher as economic managers yet rate the Democratic party more highly on issues related to health care. But health care is, by far, the single largest sector of the U.S. economy, affecting economic outcomes of households, businesses, and governments in significant ways. It seems hard to imagine that one could manage health care poorly and yet be a decent economic manager overall since health care is nearly a fifth of the U.S. economy.

But it seems fair to guess that what constitutes good management of “the economy” in the minds of polling respondents is fast economic growth, fast income growth, low unemployment, and low inflation. In the jargon of economists, it means successful macroeconomic stabilization.2 Further, these variables can indeed respond relatively quickly (within a year) to decisions of policymakers. Besides these variables, we also include a few others (measures of business investment and market incomes) that more closely measure the performance of the private sector.

Table 1 shows the average performance of a range of key macroeconomic variables under Democratic and Republican administrations since 1949, the beginning of Harry Truman’s first elected term.3 There is a Democratic advantage in every measure.

…Democrats have been the pro-labor party while Republicans have been pro-business. This is no longer the case. Republicans are now pro-labor and Democrats are pro-Communism.

Communism failed years ago and even places that are still called Communist, like China, Viet Nam and Cuba are simply dictatorships. The former two have market economies and lots of rich people.
Willy knows nothing about communism because he's a lowly government drone who dials it in.

Telling the people the economy is great, while they know in their own household it is not, is egotistical and turns off the public. What Dems SHOULD be doing now with Kamala, is the Bill Clinton approach of "I feel your pain" then give specific measures and plans to improve the daily lives for the middle class and those below it, most of which are really struggling right now.

Humor me please.

I agree a good response to economic concerns in the household is to recognize this issue and show you have a plan. Kamala needs to mix in continuing some of what Biden has done and showing she is also different in some aspects at the same time. It's a tough place when about 50% of the people want her to continue Biden's work and 50% want her to set herself apart from him. Needs to be a mix. And, I agree, a number of people are voting based on how they feel in their own households, and for the middle and below, it's been tough.

That's all the dems have are solutions to help American families. Get a clue.  The filthy maga traitor agenda will make American's lives a living hell.  Just ask a pregnant woman with a wanted pregnancy that had complications later in her term in a filthy maga traitor loser state that refuse to give abortions to pregnancies that are unviable.  

Further - I don't 'feel' like we're in a recession. Because we are NOT in one.  Then again, intelligent people already know this.

WHY do some portions of the electorate 'feel' like we're in a recession?  Because filthy maga traitor network fox spews lies repeats that nonsensical idiocy every hour on the hour to the mass delusional hoard of fully complicit filthy maga traitors to the USA.  

JUST PLAIN SIMPLE FACTS.

Economic performance is stronger when Democrats hold the White House
By Josh Bivens • April 2, 2024

It's not even close.  Anyone who is INFORMED knows.  

Plain simple FACTS.

It doesn't matter what YOU feel. Like I said, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. If you are not one of them be grateful. And you still don't get that many inner city, Democratic voters think we are in a recession. If you really deny that, then the person who needs a clue here is you.

'Respectfully' Robert - since when have 'inner city' poor EVER felt like we weren't in a recession?  Because that's how poor people feel ALL THE TIME.  To suggest that voting for racist criminal convict traitor rapist loser trump is somehow going to improve their lot in life is delusional stupidity.  Further - the 'inner city' aka BLACK VOTE - is ~88% DEMOCRATIC that filthy maga traitors try to suppress the vote in OR toss out entirely.  You see, filthy maga traitors don't even think the 'inner city' people should even be allowed to vote.  The swing voters in the SUBURBS are what is going to win this election.  Specifically, ~80,000 swing voters in 5 or 6 swing states from the SUBURBS.  

Try again.

Further, the race is tied because traitor network fox spews lies LIES to the delusional hoard of fully complicit filthy maga traitors every hour, on the hour about just about EVERYTHING.  Why did fox spews lies get court ordered to pay $787M for LYING to the filthy maga traitor hoard of delusional sycophants?  Because they LIED about a 'stolen election' and yet, you still have to this day - filthy maga traitors repeating that delusional stupidity.  

Smartmatic will be next and it's likely to be $2B that fox spews lies is likely to be court ordered to pay.  

Delusional stupidity of filthy maga traitors gets DUMBER each and every day.

Giving bigP a run for his money.

SnowKing’s kind of like the second coming of Laffy!

Truth hurts. I think fast, I talk fast, I write fast and I get shit done.  Filthy maga traitors to the USA don't usually get their lies and bullshit chewed up, spit out and tossed back at them because they live in an echo chamber of fox spews lies delusional stupidity.  

Happy Friday!

Yes, you’re definitely the second coming of Laffy! 😂

Mmmhhhmmmmm.  
Well you're doing a fine job. 🤣🤣

I know - because filthy maga traitors to the USA a so full of bullshit, lies and delusional idiocy it's comical to watch the dumb fuck stupidity in action

or a stalker....ior a cretin....or a MAGAt....or a liar....

It didn't take long for my stalker to show up.  
Hey TATL. What lies you got for is today?

Wow Icky-crite does a "But Durran" proving that again we don't live rent-free in Icky-crite's head...

We own that motherfucker lock stock and barrel!

Semper Lie.
But I'm sure The Dolt appreciates you white knighting for his poor, bruised butt.
You such a badass. LOL.

Just own the words.

It's true. Anyone who thinks 'feelings' are what define a recession and not actual economic metrics is dumb.  Newsfalsh though - it isn't 'inner city' folks whining and moaning and crying and complaining about how it 'feels' like a recession.  That's all fox spews lies and the filthy maga traitor hoard of delusional sycophants.

The race is tied because tens of millions more people are living paycheck to paycheck now than they were when Trump was president. Fox didn’t create those conditions, inflation did. To call those people stupid for feeling economic pain is really just a TDS driven notion on your part. You really are becoming Laffy 2.0 here…

You make a statement as if it were a FACT:
"...tens of millions more people are living paycheck to paycheck now than they were when Trump was president."

 
Without a link your statement is bullshit.  You could have pulled it out of your ass to try to "prove" your post is true.

after the $787M verdict for LYING to the filthy maga traitor hoard of delusional idiots.  But here we have it.  

Fox KNEW Dominion could prove they lied. They also KNEW that the evidence that would have come out in court was damning. So they settled the case and agreed to pay the $787 million. What's really funny is that their MAGA viewers continue to listen to their lies. Oh, and if they weren't lying, why did they fire Cucker Carlson?
Combine that with the more than 60 lawsuits Trump lost trying to question the election results (some from judges he himself appointed) and you have the complete repudiation of the "rigged election" Big Lie.
But our resident righties keep lapping it up.
They would rather believe a known lie than admit they were WRONG.

The courts didn't reject the lawsuits based upon the merits of the case, but upon standing. Unfortunately, there wasn't time for the cases to work their way through the court system before it all became moot with the elections getting certified.  

 
Funny how Democrats had been claiming for 20 years that electronic voting machines could flip elections because they weren't secure and could be hacked and yet no one ever sued them. And there's countless examples from before 2020 of left wing media claiming exactly this.

In almost every case the Trump lawsuits were thrown out for lack of evidence. Giuliani even said: “We’ve got lots of theories. We just don’t have the evidence.”
Neither does Wanker.

and continue to lap up the nonsensical idiocy. LAME. and DUMB. Any moron dumb enough to continue spewing the 'stolen election' delusions is correct - only it was the filthy maga traitors trying (FAILING) to steal it with the fake fraudulent false slate of electors scheme, the J6 seditious conspiracy and failed coup klutz kkklan attempt and trying (FAILING) to coerce the GA election officials.  

DUMB TRAITOR LOSER.

[\begin sarcasm]  
You guys just have to be a little more patient. Don't you remember this from August 2023?
http://www.theeroticreview.com/discussion-boards/politics-and-religion-39/re-well-at-least-you-admitted-----432407
...  http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-announces-press-conference-prove-election-stolen-1234806915/
Trump Announces Plans to Finally Go Ahead and Prove Election Was Rigged
The former president says he will deliver a "CONCLUSIVE" report next Monday that should get everyone to drop all the charges. ... "A Large, Complex, Detailed but Irrefutable REPORT on the Presidential Election Fraud which took place in Georgia is almost complete & will be presented by me at a major News Conference at 11:00 A.M. on Monday of next week in Bedminster, New Jersey,” Trump announced Tuesday morning on Truth Social. “Based on the results of this CONCLUSIVE Report, all charges should be dropped against me & others – There will be a complete EXONERATION! They never went after those that Rigged the Election. They only went after those that fought to find the RIGGERS!” ..." "
.
He then CANCELLED that news conference (August 2023):
http://www.theeroticreview.com/discussion-boards/politics-and-religion-39/the-real-reason-trump-isnt--431930
"The real reason Trump isn't having his news conference at Bedminster on Monday to present PROOF of innocence: He was going to present incontrovertible proof that he got more than 50% of the votes in Georgia that included a government certified document. A review showed that he was going to present a copy of the Fulton County 98 page RICO indictment until an unnamed assistant pointed out that winning the vote of the Georgia Grand Jury was not the same as winning the Georgia election.  
.
The real reason Trump isn't showing up at the debate on Wednesday: his bone spurs are acting up."
.
If you can just be patient a little while longer, Trump, Giuliani, Pillow Guy and the other MAGA Cult Members will finally release that CONCLUSIVE REPORT! ... along with the Trump Health Plan and the Trump Infrastructure Plan.

[\end sarcasm]

No sarcasm on this one:

"That is what happened when Giuliani and Ellis (and others on the team) visited Rusty Bowers (hardcore Rep and Trump supporter), Speaker of the House in Arizona, on the days around December 1, 2020. Here is Bowers being interviewed on video:

‘True The Vote’ Tells Judge It Doesn’t Have Evidence For ‘Ballot Mules’ Conspiracy Theory.
A court filing from the group is the latest acknowledgement that claims of widespread 2020 election fraud were baseless.
.
"The conspiracy theory-promoting group True the Vote says it has no evidence to back up its claims about widespread, systemic voter fraud during the 2020 elections. The group, which was heavily featured in Dinesh D’Souza’s viral documentary “2000 Mules,” claimed that ballot “mules” worked with a network of left-wing organizations to steal the election for Joe Biden. The film and its claims made a huge splash, and Donald Trump praised True the Vote for supposedly exposing “great election fraud.” ****But in responding to a subpoena for any evidence supporting those claims, the group came up empty-handed.**** ..."
.
"“Once again, True the Vote has proven itself untrustworthy and unable to provide a shred of evidence for a single one of their fairy-tale allegations,” Mike Hassinger, a spokesperson for Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, said in a statement to several outlets Wednesday. “Like all the lies about Georgia’s 2020 election, their fabricated claims of ballot harvesting have been repeatedly debunked.”
.
" “True the Vote made wild and false allegations as a fundraising grift that undermined public confidence in the integrity of Georgia’s elections,” Hassinger told HuffPost in an email Thursday. “Now that they’ve admitted to their con in court, they owe the voters of Georgia an apology.” "
...
"True the Vote’s filing is far from the first time high-profile election conspiracy theorists have said they do not have the evidence to back up their claims. . Just a few days ago, James O’Keefe and Project Veritas ― the struggling right-wing media outfit ― admitted that they weren’t aware of any evidence that election fraud had occurred at an Erie, Pennsylvania, post office during the 2020 election. The claim had originated with Richard Hopkins, a Trump supporter and mail carrier. The settlement in the lawsuit against O’Keefe, Project Veritas and Hopkins over the claim last week came more than three years after ****Hopkins recanted his allegation.**** ..." "  
.
It is VERY difficult to get cult members to recognize and admit that they ARE in a cult. They cling to the group and believe the lies.  
.
I know that I will not change the brainwashed here on TER. Rather, I try to present well sourced fact-based accounts (with links) to that the "silent readers" can assess things for themselves and, I hope, not believe the cult members who continue to parrot the lies of their leader Trump.

Remember "infrastructure week? After week. After week? And Trump never put forth an infrastructure plan. Biden did that. And got it passed.
Remember Trump's "big, beautiful health care bill" that was going to replace ObamaCare with something better? Never happened.
Trump is all hot air.

You're post was checked by independent fact checkers. We have determined that you're information is........

🔴LIE

TATL hates facts. Oh..... and truth. Carry on TATL.

And those statements above are easily checkable FACTS. So SPOAT needs to hit his own Lie Button. Watch him overuse it now like he's found a new toy. Trouble is, his entire post is a lie. What a loser.
I'm giving him his cherished Last Word now...
Take it, loser. Oh, and...

So just making sure I follow this. I posted this:
"TATL hates facts. Oh..... and truth."

And your reply was "The SPOAT HATES facts." 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Daaaaaaaammmmmmnnnnnn.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ok TATL. I better leave you alone for now. You absolutely can't keep up. Your lies are surpassing what you can even keep up with.  And to be the self proclaimed ruler of all of TER discussion-boards,  you really have no clue! 🤣
Go complain on another thread. You'll LOVE the video I just posted. Go check it out!

Has Trump made his CONCLUSIVE REPORT public? Has he passed it around in private? (If so, SOMEONE (Hannity?) would have leaked it by now.)
.
Did Rusty Bowers lie about his meeting with Giuliani? Before you answer, THERE WERE OTHER WITNESSES THERE.  
.
Why did True the Vote not present their evidence to the court? Did they present their evidence to anyone else? (If so, SOMEONE (Hannity?) would have leaked it by now.
.
Was Project Veritas lying when they admitted that they had NO EVIDENCE of election fraud? Why would they do that?
.
DO YOU HAVE FACT-CHECKERS that can present and support Trump's CONCLUSIVE REPORT?
DO YOU HAVE FACT-CHECKERS that can prove that Rusty Bowers was lying about Giuliani's admission about election fraud: "We have theories, but no proof." is not true?
DO YOU HAVE FACT-CHECKERS that can produce the evidence that True the Voterefuses to produce?
DO YOU HAVE FACT-CHECKERS that can prove Project Veritas's original claims of election fraud that the "source" has subsequently admitted were lies?
.
Will you ever admit that there is NO EVIDENCE OF outcome determinative ELECTION FRAUD?
