Kamala has about a 10% chance of winning all swing states, AZ, GA and NC are all 25% each, but as all are correlated and are about 1.5% leaning to Trump she has a good chance to win all of them if she wins 1 of them

I'll explain why I hold so much yes shares. Firstly, there is another market on this website asking how many swing state will Trump win. Of course if Trump wins 7 or 0 (as Kamala would win all 7) the total should add up to the same as the yes in this market. https://polymarket.com/event/how-many-swing-states-will-trump-win It actually adds up to 29/30, hence why this market is undervalued.

There are other reasons, for example nate silver's model has Trump winning all swing states at 23.7% alone, yet has Trump at 51% to win the election and 37% to win Michigan. These states are highly correlated. a polling error of over 3% either direction will resolve in this market being yes and in politics that happens a lot

Just for context, about 1500 non-citizens have been allowed to vote from this. It's somewhat of a small amount and will likely increase republican support in the millions of others who can vote

You're right, but consider it's equally as likely the polls will shift 2% more to Trump and it's game over. Also of course polls could remain steady from here and Trump can still be around 53% to win

this market is just asking for trouble. i realize i'm up against it now with fredi doing qe on trump shares but all it takes is a week of +2 polls for kamala in the rust belt and she'll be right back up there. they're subbing in obama to start campaigning for her in the fourth quarter. gl maga moonbois

Actually I've revised my estimate. nate silver has Trump ahead by 3.4%, 270towin has Trump up 2.6%. Realistically if Trump wins Florida by 8%+ states like Minnesota become somewhat of a tossup. This market should be closer to 10%
TheGuru

This market should be at 0.2%, almost no chance. Kamala has to lose the 2nd nebraska district for this to happen. She's polling 9 percent ahead and has a 90% chance of winning. And she has to win a specific set of states that has about a 2% chance of occurring as well.
TheGuru

Based on the polls Trump has a 4% lead in Florida. That means in theory the chances of a 8% victory is the same as a democratic victory in Florida. The dems are at 15% to win Florida... This market is overvalued by about 10%

Actually if you look at the yougov poll... 39% of partakers in the poll identified as democrats, 33% as republicans. So that's a 6% bias
0x63325293geDetgu4g028d8hh9dDegjAsuneg44
3 months ago
4 polls so far. Yougov show 42-41 to Vance, they're unbias (+0.2% lean towards Trump in Nate Silver house effects). CNN had 51-49 Vance, they tend to be +0.8% Trump (NS h.e.). Focaldata had 50-50, they are unbias (+0.2% Harris NS h.e.). JL have 50-43 Vance, they're Trump simpers (+2.5% Trump NS h.e, MASSIVE bias). So...Ipsos? +1.7% Harris NS h.e., MASSIVE bias. In other words. 3 unbias pollsters show a tie; 1 Trump simp shows Vance winning; and we're waiting for the results from a Harris simp. Hmmm, 90 cents being sold for under 40 cents anyone? Ipsos isn't bias, but they're statistically bias; and we might as well be betting on if Trafalgar or Rasmussen is going to favour Trump vs polling averages; sometimes they surprise and have a good Kamala result; but basically their bias is greater than margin of error. I have bet as much as I'm comfortable with. Good luck all. Fwiw I think the debate performance was a tie ;)

There are quite a few close scenarios, e.g one where Harris wins 270-268. Those 3 delegates in those super close races makes Pennsylvania much more likely to be the tipping point state

What is happening is that the USA is becoming progressive a country full of faggots that no longer intimidates anyone no one respects the USA anymore and to win they have to sweat too much not only in the games .enough with their shitty movies they make in Hollywood all politically correct there is no initiative anymore they become absurd. I have always defended the USA but they have hit rock bottom and are losing more and more power status and will be surpassed by the Chinese if they don't change. The Chinese may have a 9 centimeter penis but they are working harder than the USA to become a power.
