Why? The article doesnt provide a clear answer. But I think the answer primarily is that Democratic presidents drive the economy from the bottom-up...while Republicans drive it from the top down ("trickle-down economics"). Republicans also wind up creating financial bubbles (1929 and 2007) due to lax regulatory policies and by shifting more money to the rich who then speculate with it. Democratic presidents are also more willing to invest in infrastructure, technology, etc that businesses cant do because the benefits are not directly rewarding to them.
