House races by state
Each state is coloured by the share of its priced districts that Democrats are expected to win: the district odds added up. 418 of 435 districts are priced. Of the districts each exchange prices, Democrats are expected to win 155 of 310 on Polymarket and 173 of 350 on Kalshi. They price different sets of districts, so those two totals are not directly comparable. Faded states have fewer than half their seats priced. Open a state in the table to list its districts.

"Average" is the plain mean of the exchanges that price a party; where only one does, that exchange's price is used. Each party's price comes from its own market, so a race's two sides need not add to exactly 100%, and independents are listed beside the table row rather than on the map. On the House view, a district's two sides are scaled to add to 100% before the seats are added up, a district is a toss-up when neither party is above 60%, and the totals treat districts as independent, so they are a tally of prices and not a forecast of the chamber. Some state markets trade very little, so a price can sit still for hours. Market prices are information, not investment advice. Updated .
