Ken Fisher’s 2026 Midterm Election Forecast

Ken Fisher, Founder, Executive Chairman and Co-Chief Investment Officer of Fisher Investments, shares his outlook on the 2026 US midterm elections and what they could mean for stocks. Ken explains the "Midterm Miracle": the nine months starting in a midterm year's fourth quarter and running through the next two quarters. Over the last century, this has been the most consistently profitable stretch in stock market history, averaging nearly 20% returns. He explains how midterms tend to create political gridlock, why gridlock is bullish for US and global stocks and why falling uncertainty after election day has historically been a powerful tailwind for markets. Ken also discusses ways to read polling trends through September and what they signal about House and Senate elections. Ken Fisher writes monthly, native language columns in major media organs around the world. In total, Ken Fisher’s 31 bespoke columns span more countries and more languages in more total reach than any other, non-syndicated columnist of any type ever.
