According to betting platform Polymarket, the perceived winning odds of Democrat Kamala Harris in the U.S. elections continue to rise. Shares of Harris winning the election have surged to over 44 cents, while shares of Republican Donald Trump have fallen to 55 cents. This is in contrast to polling aggregator Real Clear Polling, which gives Trump a slight edge. The increase in Harris' odds may be due to traders hedging their bets and rumors of voting irregularities against Trump. Some market observers believe that early voting trends and post-election results have favored Democrats, suggesting a potential mismatch between polls and actual voter sentiment.
