Prediction markets currently give a 76% probability that Will the Democrats win the Arizona governor race in 2026?. This contract trades at 76¢ on Polymarket. The market is pricing Democrats as heavy favorites at 78¢, but the extremely asymmetric implied yields—647% on the No side versus 51.5% on the Yes side—signal severe illiquidity and suggest the true probability may be substantially lower than the quoted price.
Analysis
The market is pricing Democrats as heavy favorites at 78¢, but the extremely asymmetric implied yields—647% on the No side versus 51.5% on the Yes side—signal severe illiquidity and suggest the true probability may be substantially lower than the quoted price. With only $54 in 24-hour volume against $25k open interest and a modest 3¢ spread, this appears to be a thin, potentially mispriced market where the No position offers outsized returns if Democrats underperform, though execution risk is high given the liquidity constraints.
Resolution rules
This market will resolve according to the winner of the 2026 Arizona gubernatorial election. A candidate shall be considered to represent a party in the event that he or she is the nominee of the party in question. Candidates other than the Democratic or Republican nominee (e.g., Greens, Libertarian, independent) may be added at a later date. Candidates who run as independents will not be encompassed by the “Democrat” or “Republican” options regardless of any affiliation they may have with the party. The resolution source for this market is the Associated Press, Fox News, and NBC. This market will resolve once all three sources call the race for the same candidate. If all three sources haven’t called the race in this state for the same candidate, this market will resolve based on the official certification.
