Democratic sweep leads congressional pricing as split control trails
RotoWire reports the balance-of-power prices are calculated from the combined four-outcome market across Kalshi and Polymarket, where a price in cents is the market's implied probability, and the reverse split of a Republican House with a Democratic Senate sits at just 1 cent.
A Democratic sweep is priced at 76 cents in the congressional balance-of-power market, ahead of split control at 18 to 19 cents and a Republican sweep at 5 to 6 cents, according to RotoWire.
The figures were published on Nov 3, 2026, at 1:30 PM ET. They provide a snapshot of market expectations rather than an election result.
How the outcomes are priced
According to RotoWire, the prices are calculated from the combined four-outcome market across Kalshi and Polymarket. A price expressed in cents represents the market’s implied probability.
The reverse split—a Republican House alongside a Democratic Senate—is priced at just 1 cent. That makes it the least-favored of the four outcomes, with the Democratic sweep commanding the largest implied probability.
What it means for prediction markets
- The 76-cent Democratic sweep price implies a 76% probability, compared with 5% to 6% for a Republican sweep.
- The split-control outcomes are priced very differently: 18 to 19 cents for one configuration versus 1 cent for a Republican House and Democratic Senate.
- These figures reflect a combined calculation across Kalshi and Polymarket, not a separately reported price for each platform.
