This event tracks the competitive dynamics of the 2026 NH-01 Democratic primary by measuring how decisively Maura Sullivan performs against her nearest rival. The outcome hinges on the size of her victory margin relative to specific thresholds. These thresholds help gauge whether her win is narrowly contested or overwhelmingly dominant.
The event evaluates whether Maura Sullivan achieves a margin of victory of at least 3%, 6%, 9%, 12%, or 15% in the 2026 NH-01 Democratic primary. The margin of victory is calculated as the difference between Maura Sullivan's vote share and that of the candidate finishing immediately behind her if she wins, or the vote share of the top finisher if she loses. A tie for first place results in a margin of 0. Each threshold is inclusive of its lower bound and exclusive of its upper bound, with no rounding applied to the margin percentage. If Maura Sullivan runs under multiple parties or is listed multiple times, all votes for her are summed together to determine her total vote share. The market resolves to Yes for any threshold that is met or exceeded by her margin of victory.
Currently, prediction market odds often reflect a nuanced view compared to simple polling averages. While polls capture a snapshot of voter sentiment at a specific time, this market aggregates the informed opinions of many individuals trading on Kalshi. This can lead to differences, as traders may incorporate factors not fully captured in polls, such as voter turnout models, fundraising data, or qualitative assessments of candidate performance. Discrepancies between the market and polls can signal areas where the market perceives information that isn’t reflected in traditional surveys.
On Kalshi, this market is priced using a continuous double auction.
