The fact that consecutive Republican administrations in this graph fared even worse suggests that is not the case.

I’d have called Reagan very conservative, am I missing something?
Are you misreading the word consecutive as conservative?
Yes.
Let's not omit the fact that Covid hit in Trump's last year in 2020, where he had a booming economy and lowest unemployment late historically amongst minorities.
Was handed a booming economy from Obama and largely didn't do anything except cut taxes for the rich a bit. Mostly grownups in his cabinet stopping him from doing stupid shit. The Greenland thing started back then and they thought it was a joke.
Let's not omit the fact that Trump's handling of Covid was selfish (deny it exists), reckless (deny it exists even harder), foolish (inject bleach), and destabilizing (constantly spewing conflicting information and undermining scientists and experts, you'll to this day still find a steady stream of HN commenters that hold an eternal vendetta against Anthony Fauci for some perceived unforgivable inarticulable wrong he's done.)
