Stock market (aka business) does better under Democrats.
I see you weren't around back to see the outcome of Reagan economic plan which
fueled the 80s and 90s. Or in another words, why Carter and Mondale lost.
Even Obama and Clinton are humble about the outcome.
Democratic Presidents have outperformed Republicans for more than 80 years, and if you count Herbert Hoover the difference is enormous:

The ONLY Presidents since 1929 with net negative returns were all Republicans: Hoover, Nixon, and W.
Republicans have tried to deify Reagan, but returns during both Reagan's & HW's administrations were midway between Carter's & Clinton's, both chronologically and in % terms. Attributing Clinton's returns to Reagan would require attributing Reagan's returns to Nixon and Ford.
