I think that’s only a consensus among people who don’t understand the economy very well. The truth is politicians have very little control over the economy particularly in the short term. At most politics is able to nudge the economy very slightly like the rudder on a massive ship that takes years to turn.
Course there are some things you can do. Tariffs is an obvious one, completely bungling a global pandemic is probably another, etc…
Are you under the impression that they don’t?
As an example… fox news.

To answer OP’s question succinctly, yes, and they do.
The general consensus seems to be which ever party is in power has the most control over the economy.

Sure, I mean pretty much by definition. What does that have to do with your question?
I guess, thank you for your response.
