BREAKING: Prediction markets are now showing a 53% chance of Kamala Harris winning the 2024 election, according to Polymarket.

These markets are different than polls in that the probabilities are based on real money wagers. In 2016, polls put odds of Hillary Clinton beating Trump at 70%, with some as high as 98%. Trump's victory in 2016 ended up resulting in one of the largest polling and election forecaster failures in history. Will prediction markets prove to be more or less accurate?
