How to read this chart
Each dot is one Senate seat. Dots on the left are races Democrats are favoured to win, and dots on the right are races Republicans are favoured to win. A strong colour means the market is confident about the winner; a pale colour means a closer race. Yellow dots in the middle are toss-ups, where no side has a 60% chance or more.
The faded dots at the two ends are seats that are not on the ballot in 2026. They still count toward each party's total. The dashed line marks control. Democrats need 51 seats. Republicans need 50, because the Vice President breaks a 50–50 tie. Select a dot to open that race.

How to read this chart
Each state is coloured by the rating of its Senate race. Blue means a Democrat leads and red means a Republican leads; the darker the shade, the more confident the market. Striped states are Lean (a 60% to 75% chance), and yellow states are toss-ups (under 60%). Purple marks a race led by a candidate from neither party, and grey states have no race this year.
The text on each state gives the leading party and its chance of winning. Use the slider or the play button to replay the past 60 days, and the source buttons to switch between the TruthIndex™ and each venue's own prices. Select a state to open its race.

Where Polymarket and Kalshi disagree most
How to read this chart
Each row is one contest, showing the outcome on which the two venues disagree most. The centre line is the TruthIndex™. The two dots show how far above or below it each venue prices the outcome: indigo for Polymarket, amber for Kalshi.
The longer the bar between the dots, the bigger the disagreement. The number on the right is the gap in percentage points. A tag such as 9d means the gap has stayed at 3 points or more for that many days. Select a row to open the contest.
More in MethodologyPoints from the TruthIndex™ of the outcome shown; the scale runs to 10 points either side.
