According to the general public? And if so, why do economic collapses happen so often under their administrations?
Can’t answer that, but I can tell you that lemmy lets you edit post titles.

Some time prior to Nixon. He fucked things up bad and we’re still feeling the multiplying effects.
Nixon actually had the highest GDP growth with 3.5%. Second was Reagan at 3.48%
From what I’ve seen republicans tend to ride the coattails of the person before them and *lay claim to what their predecessor accomplished. I don’t know enough about that time period to say if that was the case then but it seems likely.
Trump’s 1st term was pretty much Reagan 2.0. If he’s going to stay with that theme, this term will be Bush (Sr.) 2.0
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).
George HW Bush was the last one to leave office while the economy was doing well. It was going fine at the end of George W Bush’s first term, then the 2007 housing crash brought it down. Trump’s first term ended with the covid lockdowns severely harming the state of things. So… 3 Republican presidencies ago, but that’s a lot of years.
Eisenhower, probably
Pretty sure inflation went crazy under biden
Inflation was on the rise before Trump left office. It continued under Biden for the first two years of his term, but he managed to get key legislation passed in that span of time that has measurably reduced inflation. It’s still not back down to what it was pre-pandemic, but we are leading almost every other western democracy in that metric. It really is incredible that people are giving Biden shit for the economy when he is actively fixing the problem, and it shows that the Democrats have a tremendous failure in their ability to do effective messaging.
If it doesn’t feel like inflation has been improved under Biden, that’s because the price you pay at the gas pump or the grocery store has more to do with what they chose to set their prices at than what the current rate of inflation is. The “vibe economy” is real, but they aren’t casting the blame for it at the right people. For once, government did it’s job. Who knows if the current trend will continue under Trump, but given that he set off the massive inflationary spending spree by injecting a ton of cash into a booming economy with stimulus checks, I imagine he’s not going to care much about the fundamentals of a healthy economy and will instead do whatever makes his donors happy.
Caused by Trump over stimulating the economy and injecting cash while it was booming.
Consumers don’t relate low inflation to bad inflation but as you can see the fed wasn’t able to hit its target all of 2020. That’s a really bad sign by itself, the US is very lucky that it never got a true recession/depression.
