As a democratic party voter, I doubt a new president is going to help much. Getting out of Iraq and refunding the government may change the situation, but both of those things may take 10-12 years, and the next president will be in office 4-8. Of course, Clinton took the US out of debt and into economic growth, but I think that was due to the tech industry and not anything in the Oval Office.
