Which U.S. presidents have been the most "inflation control" oriented? Here's a comparison of inflation from Eisenhower to Biden.



Lowest inflation rates Top 3: Kennedy 1.1%, Eisenhower 1.4%, Obama 1.4% - These three presidents had the most stable economy. Carter had the worst, averaging 9.9%, which once scared the entire nation.

Interestingly, data shows that presidential power is limited. Events such as the Vietnam War, oil crisis, financial crisis, and pandemic often overshadow any policy. During Reagan's era, inflation was indeed cut from 13.5% to 4.1%, but he also encountered a collapse in oil prices. Trump's inflation of 1.9% during the pandemic was low, but after Biden took office, he faced a supply chain crisis and the Ukraine war, resulting in inflation skyrocketing to a 40-year high of 9%.

As of now (July), it has dropped to 2.9%, the lowest since 2021. Economists generally believe that the president's fiscal decisions (tax cuts/spending) do have an impact, but macro shocks are often the decisive factors.
