Question

What numbers does Scott Galloway cite on the economy under Democratic and Republican presidents?

Answered from Michigan Midterm Drama, Crypto Heist, and Guest Hillary Clinton · Pivot · 2026-11-03

Scott Galloway averaged results across administrations since 1980, which he treats as the turn from a manufacturing to a service and tech economy. He said Republican administrations added about 1 million jobs a year and 2.1% GDP growth, while Democratic administrations added about 2 million jobs and 4.1% growth. Deficits, he said, grew 2.8% of GDP on average under Republicans versus 2.1% under Democrats. He pitched this to young men, who he says vote mainly on economics, urging them to ignore virtue signaling and vote for their wallets.
