Frequently asked questions
Prediction market odds on Kalshi often diverge from traditional polling because markets incorporate trader expectations, insider information, and real-money incentives that polls may miss. While polls measure stated voter preference at a single moment, prediction markets reflect dynamic probability estimates updated continuously as new information emerges. For the 2028 Republican VP race, market prices may lead or lag polling depending on whether traders anticipate shifts in candidate viability, party dynamics, or endorsement patterns that surveys have not yet captured.

On Kalshi, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now.
