That’s just the way a lot of economic policy works. A policy’s effects are not be instantaneous, but may take months or years before they are noticable depending on what they are. This lag often results in the next presidency experiencing the economic policies that were implemented by the previous presidency(s).
Nixon actually had the highest GDP growth with 3.5%. Second was Reagan at 3.48%
