Summary: In November, voters in the United States will head to the polls to determine the make-up of Congress for the next two years. Mid-term elections almost always go against the party in power, and we could see the Democrats take control of one or both chambers of Congress. We believe a historically average congressional shift is most likely, and in this situation the Democrats will gain control of the House but fall short of a majority in the Senate. But the outcome is still highly uncertain, so it's important to evaluate the potential outcomes and assess how each outcome could affect the political and policy environment — and how it could impact markets.
