While there are many factors contributing to these trends, the throughline is clear that Democratic administrations consistently help the U.S. economy perform better than Republican administrations.
- Economic growth, job creation, and stock-market performance have historically been stronger, on average, during Democratic presidencies.

- The overwhelming majority of net job creation over the past half-century occurred under Democratic presidents.
- Deficits widen during Republican administrations and narrow during Democratic ones (often after Democrats inherited large deficits).
