A recession would be bad for the incumbent.

But then again, the last incumbent oversaw a 15% unemployment rate and almost won reelection when 3,000 people were dying every day so, perhaps it wouldn't be.

3,000 Americans dying every day would be an anomaly. Deaths are closer to 10k a day on average and only going up.
