Overall, stocks perform better under Democratic presidents than Republican ones, according to S&P Capital IQ.
In the last 100 years, the S&P 500 (SPX) had about a 12% median annual gain during the tenures of Democratic presidents. Republican presidents only saw a median rise of just over 5% a year.
Of course, any analysis comes with the large disclaimer that the past is no predictor of future returns. But investors have started to take notice.

'90s throwback? President Clinton is in a league of his own when it comes to stock market performance. The S&P 500 rose by a total of 210% during his two terms, well ahead of any recent president. To put that in context, the index has grown 160% since Obama took office.
There's hope that Hillary would bring more of the same.
"She would be very well received," by Wall Street, says Greg Valliere, chief political strategist at Potomac Research Group. "There's a certain comfort level there because of Bill."

When Congress is split, the S&P 500 gains 10% a year with Democratic presidents and 3% a year with Republicans presidents, according to data from Standard & Poor Equity Research.
