Real GDP during each president's tenure
Every president since 1991, ranked by how real GDP changed from their first day in office. Politare shows what happened during a tenure; it does not claim the office-holder caused it.

Sorted by total, highest first. Every row is indexed to the last quarter complete before the first day in office ("from" marks a start that had to move because that period had no data, or because the period cut it); Levels are per cent changes, rates are differences in %; "per year" compounds levels and divides rates. Tenures with under 12 months, or under three observations, are left out.
