Prediction markets lean toward Democrats ahead of the US midterms
🗳️ Ahead of the November 3 election, Polymarket and Kalshi price Democrats’ chances of winning House control at around 93–95%. Late-October snapshots showed gains of roughly 2.4–3 percentage points over a week.
📊 The probability of Democrats controlling both chambers stands near 70%. A Democratic House with a Republican Senate still accounts for about a quarter, leaving Senate control a key uncertainty.
🏛️ If Democrats win either or both chambers, major White House tax and budget proposals could require more compromise. Financial market reactions would depend on specific policies and how far the results differ from expectations.
⚖️ These figures reflect prediction contract prices, rather than vote shares or guaranteed outcomes. Polling errors and turnout patterns could still shift expectations.
