How to read odds and volume

For these $1 binary contracts, a $0.63 price implies 63%. Kalshi percentages use the last traded price and are labeled as inferred. Polymarket uses the bid/ask midpoint for spreads up to $0.10, otherwise the last trade when available. Sparse trading and wide spreads can make odds less informative.

Each outcome is shown separately. We do not infer the other party’s odds, force percentages to total 100%, or combine providers. Party contracts are not candidate-specific predictions. Settlement rules differ between providers.

Kalshi volume counts contracts; Polymarket volume is in dollars. All-time and past-24-hour amounts are separate. They measure trading activity, not voter support, confidence, unique traders or campaign funds. Volumes are not added across outcomes or providers.

Sources refresh on demand after 15 minutes. Retrieval time and provider record update time are separate; a last-trade timestamp is not supplied here. Failed refreshes retain dated data. Closed, non-trading and post-election contracts do not display live odds.

Question: If the election for U.S. Senator were being held today, who would you vote for?

Method: English-language online interviews using a non-probability YouGov panel; matching and weighting described in the original memo. Candidate order randomized.

Reported uncertainty: Pollster-reported credibility interval: ±5.2 percentage points for likely voters (95% level, design effect 1.86). This is not a simple-random-sample margin of error.

Original likely-voter results, not an election probability. Rounding produces a total of 101%. Other eligible candidates were not named separately in this matchup. The memo also contains a separate registered-voter result; it is not blended into this entry.

Polling coverage & attribution

Checked VoteHub’s 2026 House/Senate general-election polling feed and Pollscape’s reviewed original releases. No entry means no matching survey in these sources, not proof that none exists.

Feed last retrieved Oct 22, 2026. Polling refreshes on demand after six hours.

Compiled data: VoteHub Polling API, licensed under CC BY 4.0. Pollscape filters and reformats the data, preserves the reported response values, and removes duplicates of reviewed original releases. Inclusion does not imply endorsement by the pollster or VoteHub.
