Prediction market odds on Polymarket often diverge from traditional polling due to differences in methodology and participant incentives. While polls capture voter preference at a single moment, prediction markets reflect real-money bets on actual outcomes, incorporating insider knowledge and forward-looking expectations. Traders may price in campaign momentum, fundraising strength, or endorsement effects before they appear in polls. Comparing Polymarket odds to recent public surveys reveals whether the market is more bullish or bearish on specific candidates than the polling consensus suggests.
