Hyde-Smith favored in Mississippi as Senate market leaves room for Colom
Mississippi is one of the night's tighter Republican-held Senate seats on the board, with Hyde-Smith priced well below the safe-seat range and about 1.4 million dollars traded on the race in total.
Mississippi’s Senate prediction market favored Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith at 69.5 percent against Scott Colom at 30.5 percent, according to Polyguana’s Nov 3, 2026 update published at 8:45 PM ET.
The pricing put Mississippi among the night’s more competitive Republican-held Senate seats on the market board, according to Polyguana. Hyde-Smith remained the favorite, but her price was substantially below the range associated with safe seats.
A favorite, but not a settled contest
Colom’s 30.5 percent pricing left a meaningful possibility of a result against the favored Republican. Those figures describe market expectations at the time of the update, rather than a vote tally or a declared outcome.
About 1.4 million dollars had been traded on the race in total, according to Polyguana. That figure measures trading activity; it does not establish how certain the eventual result is.
What it means for prediction markets
- Hyde-Smith’s 69.5 percent pricing indicated a clear advantage, while leaving substantial uncertainty over the outcome.
- Mississippi stood out as a comparatively competitive Republican-held Senate market, rather than one priced as a safe seat.
- The roughly 1.4 million dollars in total trading provides context for market participation, not independent confirmation of the forecast.
