Not sure how to use that tool. Couldn't find a chart.
Here are some numbers from CMC http://www.cmcmarkets.com.sg/why-cmc/newsroom/news-releases .

Or put another way, Democrats have returned 9.1% annually and Republicans have returned 4.7%.
"Although the Republicans are widely seen as being generally more favourable to business, since 1900, stock markets have actually performed better under Democratic presidents.
Although the Republicans have spent more time in office over the last 112 [sic] years, the Democrats have posted an average return over month (0.73% to 0.38%) and average monthly return over the same month a year earlier (8.00% to 6.37%).
Normally one would expect higher returns to come with higher risk but under the Democrats, risk as measured by the standard deviation has been lower based on both monthly (5.22% vs 5.56%) and yearly (20.25% vs 22.13%) volatility. " - cmc markets
