U.S. economic performance under Democratic and Republican presidents
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

GDP growth

GDP is a measure of both the economic production and income. The Economist reported in August 2014 that real (inflation-adjusted) GDP growth averaged about 1.8 percentage points faster under Democrats, from Truman through Obama's first term, which ended in January 2013.[2] Blinder and Watson estimated the average Democratic real GDP growth rate at 4.3%, vs. 2.5% for Republicans, from President Truman's elected term through President Obama's first term, which ended January 2013.[1] CNN reported in September 2020 that GDP grew 4.1% on average under Democrats, versus 2.5% under Republicans, from 1945 through the second quarter of 2020, a difference of 1.6 percentage points.[3]


IMO, we don't even try to counter the decades of right wing bullshit. It's like we don't believe in marketing. Some DUers have told me that it's too late for marketing, that people have picked their team & messaging is only for the choir, now.
