About Arnon:
Building on over forty years of involvement in American politics, Arnon Mishkin leads the Fox News Election Decision Team, which is responsible for analyzing election and polling results and developing models to project election outcomes.
Following the 2016 election, Mishkin and his team, working with the Associated Press and the National Opinion Research Center developed the Fox News Voter Analysis/AP VoteCast, which is the first alternative to the Network “Exit Poll,” and is conducted in all states with statewide elections. It is now regarded as the most definitive timely snapshot of American voter attitudes.
During election season, Mishkin often appears on Fox News and writes for FoxNews.com to assess the impact of different campaigns and the likely trends in the electorate.
Mishkin has taught and lectured about politics as a Resident Fellow of Harvard’s Institute of Politics and the USC Center for a Political Future, and Northeastern University
Mishkin got his start in politics as a protégé of David Garth of The Garth Group, the firm known for the election of multiple governors of New York, including Hugh Carey and Mario Cuomo; New York mayors, including John Lindsay, Ed Koch, Rudy Guiliani and Michael Bloomberg, as well as Senators John Heinz and Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania. The firm was known for its pioneering use of television advertising, at a time when most campaigns relied on it minimally.
In addition to his work as a political analyst, Mishkin runs a strategic management consultancy, Mishkin Associates, where he focuses on general strategic consulting for a wide array of businesses.
Formerly a partner with The Boston Consulting Group, Mishkin earned a BA from Yale University and an MBA, with distinction, from Harvard Business School.
