One prediction market prices this story:

  • Will Democrats win white voters in the midterms? — the market puts it at 4%, with $5k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 7 Nov 2026. The outcome depends on which party receives the largest share of white voters in national House exit polls from CNN. You must check the specific CNN webpage at 12:00 PM ET on November 6, 2026, to see the final numbers. Readers often mistake the election day for the resolution time or assume any poll counts rather than only the designated CNN data.
