Do Democrats Handle Economy Better Than Republicans?

Hillary Clinton recently claimed that the economy historically does better under Democratic presidents than Republican ones. Politifact looked into it and found surprising results. John Iadarola delivers his Final Judgment on economic growth.

If democrat economic policies are so great then why is Detroit bankrupt?

I think it's kind of funny that is it was about civil rights he would have screamed at the party switched. Now they are the same party.

Democrats are also more fiscally responsible as well, much better for the deficit than Republicans.

[EmmittBrownBTTF]

Democrats need Republicans to make them look good.

What? So you're telling me that Republican economic policies aren't as successful as Democratic ones? You don't say. #FeelTheBern

[oliverdcross]

Yeah sure, because if the stocks are up then the economy is doing well

That's why elections matter. You can't tell me Republican and Democratic leader are "the same."

[shanesmallwood]

Just want to point out a flaw in the logic here. Pre WW2 the democratic party was mostly comprised of what would become the present day republican party. So a 115 year statistical study has major holes, but a study of 1950 or 1960 forward would be more in line with current party roles.

[DrakeMagnum]

Damn, those are some bold statistics.

[theremoteseller]

Im surprised that anyone would thing that the republican economic stance isnt disarstrous compared to that of the democrats.

[marcelpaba]

that last quote was lacking in numbers

I know what the letters stand for, but did anyone else hear him say a CMC report and think of thre small, multi-colored ponies?
