Will the Democratic Party win the SC-02 House seat?

Prediction markets currently give a 19% probability that Will the Democratic Party win the SC-02 House seat?. This contract trades at 19¢ on Polymarket, closing November 3, 2026. The Democratic contract is pricing SC-02 at just 16¢, implying an 84% Republican lean in this South Carolina district, though the extraordinarily high 955% implied yield on the Yes side suggests the market may be overestimating Republican dominance given the substantial time horizon (201 days) and relatively thin $22.7K open interest.

Analysis

5d ago

The Democratic contract is pricing SC-02 at just 16¢, implying an 84% Republican lean in this South Carolina district, though the extraordinarily high 955% implied yield on the Yes side suggests the market may be overestimating Republican dominance given the substantial time horizon (201 days) and relatively thin $22.7K open interest. The 3¢ spread and modest $113.2 daily volume indicate low liquidity, which could amplify price swings if new information emerges about candidate quality or district demographics before the November 2026 election.

Resolution rules

This market will resolve according to the party of the candidate who wins the SC-02 congressional district seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2026 midterm elections. The midterm elections will take place on November 4, 2026. ​A candidate's party will be determined by their ballot-listed or otherwise identifiable affiliation with that party at the time all of the 2026 House elections are conclusively called by this market's resolution sources. A candidate without a ballot-listed affiliation to either the Democrat or Republican parties will be considered a member of one of these parties based on the party with which they most recently expressed their intent to caucus at the time all of the House elections are conclusively called by this market's resolution sources. This market will resolve based on the result of the election as indicated by a consensus of credible reporting. If there is ambiguity, this market will resolve based solely on the official results as reported by the United States government, specifically the Federal Election Commission (https://www.fec.gov/).
