Technically, you'll have to wait until January to credit the economic recovery on a Republican congress.

Since the results are coming from government deadlock, 41 Senators are enough for either party to claim credit for what has happened.

Oh that's right, I forgot the GOP has such a superior record on handling the economy!

TARP was ugly, but quite effective. Same cannot be said for the stimulus packages which were just plain ugly. People at the bottom are still suffering and unwilling to support Democrats, people towards the top know that Democrats are not the least bit involved in the recovery. Like Chuck said, focusing on ACA was the wrong strategy. Whatever ambition they had to reduce the cost of labor via healthcare quickly vaporized in a DC power-grab.

Uh, no, I was referring mainly to the tendency in history for Democratic administrations to come along and clean up the economic havoc wrought by their predecessor Republican administrations.  FDR, Clinton, Obama, etc.
