Prediction markets favor Democratic control of both chambers before U.S. midterms

Where Left and Right agree, and where they split

Where Left and Right agree

Democrats are favored to win the House, but Senate control remains genuinely uncertain and hinges on a handful of competitive races and the four seats needed to flip it.

Where Left and Right split

Democrats converting a polling edge into a real check on unified Republican control, or Republicans' current hold on both chambers being at risk if contested seats aren't defended.

Why they won’t converge

The disagreement is about trust in forecasting methods, not facts: traders and pollsters treat probabilistic models as reliable signals, while skeptics treat them as speculation that only the counted vote on Nov. 3 can resolve.
