    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.

        Agreed, the stock market is just an easily measurable metric.

        When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure. - Goodhart’s Law.

      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.
