What This Means

Betting odds on political outcomes show Democratic advantage across House and Senate races one week before voting. Market-based forecasts differ from traditional polling and reflect real-money positions on electoral outcomes. Political control shapes regulatory direction, tax policy, and spending priorities that move asset classes and sector valuations.
