In the latest presidential race on Polymarket, the decentralized prediction platform, Kamala Harris has taken the lead. Her chances of winning have surged to 50%, just ahead of Donald Trump at 49%.
Debate Results
This shift came after a recent presidential debate, where Harris and Trump briefly tied at 49%, but Trump regained the lead shortly after.
Polymarket Reaction
The debate turned into a 'sell-the-news' event, causing many to pull back on their riskier bets, as Trump’s performance didn’t impress. This sentiment also affected PredictIt, where Harris’s odds climbed to 56 cents from 53 cents, while Trump’s fell to 47 cents.
Public Opinion Polls
Polling data mirrors these odds. A YouGov poll of over 2,000 voters showed 54% thought Harris won the debate, while only 31% backed Trump. A similar CNN poll showed that 63% of debate watchers said Harris performed better.
In the presidential race on Polymarket and broader public opinion polls, Kamala Harris continues to lead. Her chances of winning are expected to grow as the election approaches.
