Under Democratic presidents since 1961, the economy added 41 million private-sector jobs, while under Republicans it has added just 24 million.
Other measures also show that the economy performs better under Democratic presidents.
Sam Stovall, chief equity strategist for S&P Capital IQ, conducted an analysis recently showing that GDP, stock prices, and corporate earnings have all increased more under Democratic presidents than under Republicans.
The S&P 500 stock index, for example, has risen 12.1 percent per year under Democratic presidents since 1900, and just 5.1 percent under Republicans.
Since 1949, GDP has grown 4.2 percent per year under Democrats and 2.6 percent per year under Republicans.
The same trend extends to corporate profits, which have grown 10.5 percent under Dems and 8.9 percent under Republicans.
