Sent by Copilot:
Determining which political party has been best for the U.S. economy over the past 50 years can be complex, as it depends on various factors and metrics. However, several studies and analyses provide some insights:- Economic Growth: On average, the U.S. economy has grown faster under Democratic presidents. A study from the National Bureau of Economic Research found that since World War II, the economy grew by an average of 4.4% per year under Democratic presidents, compared to 2.5% under Republican presidents12.
- Job Creation: Job creation has also been higher under Democratic administrations. From 1945 to 2023, about 72% of net jobs were created under Democratic presidents2.
- Stock Market Performance: The stock market has generally performed better under Democratic presidents. For example, the annual return on the stock market has been higher during Democratic administrations2.
- Unemployment Rates: Unemployment rates have tended to decrease under Democratic presidents and increase under Republican presidents2.
- Budget Deficits: Budget deficits relative to the size of the economy have been lower on average for Democratic presidents2.
