Which political party has historically lowered the unemployment rate in Ohio?

Comparing yearly unemployment rates in Ohio against the party affiliation of the sitting US President and Ohio Governor reveals, without a doubt, that having a Democrat in either office is good for Ohio.

On average, having a Republican President and Governor INCREASES the unemployment rate by .97! (Ohio's unemployment rate for 2005 was 5.9%)

A Democratic President can help lower the unemployment rate by .22%- even with a Republican Governor.

But statistics show that a Democratic Governor can help lower the unemployment rate by 0.63% !

There is, unfortunatley, no data to show how having a Democrat in both offices will impact the unemployment rate in Ohio.

Let's hope we can find out in 2009.
