What it means for prediction markets
- The reported average gap of 0.8 percentage points indicates close pricing across the 54 matched outcomes, despite the wider divergence in the 2028 market.
- Kalshi priced Republicans’ chances of 2028 party control higher than Polymarket did; the comparison does not establish which price was more accurate.
- Identical prices for 2026 House and Senate control show agreement between the venues at the reported snapshot, not certainty about either outcome.
