notes
Trader-implied prices, not polls and not forecasts. A “split” tag means the two books name different leaders — nothing here averages them into a winner; the narrow row’s “avg” is the same mean the bars print. Rows open for the week chart and market links. Dated reading: Oct 9, 11:09 PM CT. Comparison baseline: October 9, 2026.

Coverage: 22 of 22 races have both books naming the same leader.
