Recessions and the Electoral Blame Game
As a result of the recession that began in 2007 and continued into 2009, the unemployment rate rose to as high as 10 percent. By the time of the congressional elections of 2010, the economic recovery was under way, but the unemployment rate was still around 9.6 percent. The Republicans saw this as evidence that the Democrats’ economic policies had failed to deal with the lasting effects of the recession. They, in fact, blamed the lasting high unemployment on the policies of the Democrats and President Barack Obama. The Democrats and President Obama pointed to increasing real gross domestic product (GDP) as evidence that the economy was fundamentally sound and was no longer in a recession.
