Summary
Evaluating the historic change in the VIX from the 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016 elections we can see that Q4 of each election year is a downtrend and results in lower volatility until the inauguration in January of the ensuing year, regardless of the result.
**CLINTON ADDED To chart AFTER POST PUBLISHING**
Will 2020 be different?
Other factors to consider
Should be interesting to watch on several fronts.

- DJIA, IXIC and SPX are all sitting on resistances-flipped-supports from ATH beginning of 2020
Should be interesting to watch on several fronts.
