Senate seat arithmetic

Republicans hold 53 of 100; 51 is a majority. The other 47 need a net 4.

The aggregate control contract does not identify which individual seats would supply that net gain.

The current race ledger

6 Senate races, then 4 governors, each group by state, A to Z.

10 races have snapshot data but no desk note yet. They still appear in full: Ohio governor general, Maine Senate general, Texas Senate general, Alaska Senate general, Iowa Senate general, Michigan Senate general, Ohio Senate general, Wisconsin governor general, Georgia governor general, Nevada governor general.

How this desk reads the two booksThe comparison basis, and today's four irreducible facts

Since the previous edition

This edition predates stable race identifiers, so it cannot be compared with another edition. Contest names drift between editions, and joining on them would report moves that never happened.

Today's four irreducible facts

Each claim keeps the two venues separate.

  1. House control

    Democratic-control contracts:

    Polymarket 86.5%Kalshi 83.5%
  2. Senate control

    Democratic-control contracts:

    Polymarket 45.5%Kalshi 46.5%

    Recorded-span changes: Polymarket +2.0pp; Kalshi +2.5pp. Both books clear the direction threshold.

  3. Alaska Senate general — and 1 more

    One venue only; no cross-venue comparison. The books also disagree in Wisconsin governor general.

    Polymarket Mary Peltola leadsKalshi Dan Sullivan leadsPolymarket: Mary Peltola 55.5%Dan Sullivan 44.5%Kalshi: Dan Sullivan 45.5%
  4. Ohio governor general

    Amy Acton has the widest current candidate-side venue gap, 5.0pp.

    Polymarket 44.0%Kalshi 49.0%

Cross-venue coverage

Every race on this board is priced by both books.

Method and scope

  • These are trader-implied market prices, not polls and not POLI forecasts.
  • Polymarket volume is USD notional; Kalshi volume is contracts. They are not comparable, so this page does not combine or weight them.
  • Separately traded candidate contracts are independent and do not have to sum to 100%.
  • This is a dated snapshot observed Aug 4, 10:40 AM CT, not a live feed.
  • This edition contains 10 races from its published snapshots: no polls, no vote counts, and no inferred contests.
  • Edition changes publish only when stable race identity, contest kind, market scope, and venue identity make subtraction safe.
