Polymarket now pricing 87% odds of a full Dem sweep in the midterms — House and Senate both. Highest it's been.
The betting markets have spoken: inflation matters. When people feel poorer every time they buy groceries or fill up the tank, they vote accordingly. Doesn't matter what your party says the economy is doing — voters know what their wallets tell them.
This is the oldest rule in politics: economic pain = change elections. Inflation isn't some abstract CPI number to regular people. It's rent, it's eggs, it's childcare. And when it hurts, incumbents lose.
Prediction markets aren't perfect, but they're often better than polls because people are risking actual money. 87% is decisive. We'll see if they're right by tomorrow morning.
Reminder: markets hate uncertainty more than they hate any particular outcome. Once we know the result — whatever it is — expect some volatility to settle.
