Vol $189 today · $9.5K total
Kalshi is 1 points higher than Polymarket (2% vs 0%). Kalshi trades about 12.3× more volume today, so its price has more money behind it. They resolve on different dates (Nov 4 vs Jan 1), so they may not be exactly the same bet.
History starts when we first saw each market, so a newly added market has a short line.
