I would call that more accurately, the "Hillary Effect", as in..........sales of that kind of stuff are about to triple between 11/8 and 1/20 if she wins.

Google is your turbo helper:
Most of the time, you'll want affect as a verb meaning to influence something and effect for the something that was influenced. The difference between affect and effect is so slippery that people have started using "impact" as a verb instead. Don't be one of them!
Effect is mostly commonly used as a noun meaning the result or impact of something, an outcome. If there's "a/an/the" in front of it, it's an effect.

Oh I Googled it before I stepped up but I used the "?" because I still don't know for sure. In any case, I solved the conundrum with a KSG chock-full of Aguila Minishells.
Effect as a noun
Squiggly marveled at the effect fishing had on Aardvark's mood.
Aardvark wondered whether the heat was having an effect on the fish.
Affect as a verb
Squiggly wished that beans didn't affect his stomach so much.
Aardvark's grumpiness affected everyone else's mood last night.
Then there is the Affect Theory:
Affect theory is attributed to psychologist Silvan Tomkins and is introduced in the first two volumes of his book Affect Imagery Consciousness. The word affect, as used in Tomkins theory, specifically refers to the "biological portion of emotion"; that is, it refers to "hard-wired, preprogrammed, genetically transmitted mechanisms that exist in each of us", which, when triggered, precipitate a "known pattern of biological events".[1] However, it is also acknowledged that, in adults, the affective experience is a result of both the innate mechanism and a "complex matrix of nested and interacting ideo-affective formations.
