Public perception is actually hilariously and frustratingly skewed and inaccurate on this question. The data does not lie:
- 50:1 ratio of jobs created under Democratic va Republican administrations since 1989, and 2.5:1 since 1945
- GDP, stock indices, and unemployment rates perform better under Democratic admins, and government budget deficits tend to be lower; conversely, 10 of the 11 recessions in the US between 1953 and 2020 were under Republican admins.
There’s like, a TON of sources to back this up. I just grabbed a couple. Corroboration is easy to find on all of these points.
Yeah but when the repugnant pundits make their proclamations on the news and in public address, they simply quote all this data but reverse the parties. Just lie. Simple as that. And their sheep believe every word.
The lying political figures should be lined up at a wall and shot.
Whether the economy its better under Republicans or Democrats is not open to speculation.
If you’re not trying to create rage-bait, the answer lies in fact-based data which the World Wide Web, I’m sure, has readily available for your review.
Here’s the first result my search engine offered me:

If by “the economy” youre referring to the stock market, then typically Republican controlled Congress leads to higher returns for corporations and bigger gains in the market.
If you mean general prosperity then its Democrats.
Republican admins yield increased concentration of wealth.
Democratic admins yield increased general economic indicators and decreased negative metrics in a statistically significant fashion.
It is truly trivial to find reams of data to back this up. You can even pull tons of raw data and do the analysis yourself to prove it out, if you’re handy with statistics/data science and have a bit of experience with R or Pandas or whatever.
The stock market is only a piece of the economy pie.
