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.
