Prediction market odds on Polymarket often diverge from traditional polling averages because traders incorporate real-time information, campaign momentum, and fundraising data that polls may lag. While polls capture voter sentiment at a single point in time, prediction markets aggregate continuous bets from participants with financial incentives to forecast accurately. For the South Carolina Democratic primary, market odds may lead or trail polls depending on whether recent developments favor particular candidates. Comparing the two reveals whether markets are pricing in shifts that surveys have not yet captured.
The South Carolina Governor Democratic Primary market resolves on Jun 9, 2026, following the official primary election date.
