Why political prediction markets matter

Political prediction markets price every candidate and policy question as a live probability. During the 2024 US presidential election, Polymarket and Kalshi pointed at the winning outcome days before major forecasters updated their models: and the 2026 midterms are shaping up the same way.

What we track here

  • Presidential election 2028: who will be the Democratic and Republican nominee, who wins.
  • Senate & House control: party control probabilities and key race-by-race odds.
  • Policy outcomes: major legislation, confirmations, and executive actions.
  • State-level races: governors and statewide offices where markets have formed.

How to trade political markets

Kalshi is the CFTC-regulated home for US residents and is the easiest legal on-ramp for political event contracts. Polymarket offers deeper liquidity globally and is the benchmark political market the press cites most. Seasoned traders typically run both in parallel to arbitrage the spread.
