Analysis
This probability represents the estimated chance that Dustin Darden will advance to Alaska's general election runoff in the 2026 Senate race. At 38%, the market suggests Darden is a credible but uncertain contender among multiple candidates competing for one of two runoff spots. The main factors influencing this level include Darden's current standing in polling relative to frontrunners like Mary Peltola and Dan Sullivan (who show near-certain probabilities of advancing), as well as donor support and campaign infrastructure. The primary uncertainty catalyst will be the August primary election, when Alaska's ranked-choice voting system determines which two candidates proceed to the general election. Polling data releases and candidate announcements in the coming months will also help clarify the competitive landscape and likely shift expectations.
- ›Darden's performance relative to top-tier candidates Peltola and Sullivan, whose individual probabilities exceed 90%
- ›Total number and strength of competing candidates dividing the non-frontrunner vote
- ›Voter preference patterns in Alaska's ranked-choice primary system, which requires securing sufficient first and secondary preferences
- ›Polling data releases between now and the August 19, 2026 primary election
- ›Campaign fundraising and spending relative to other mid-tier candidates

Democrats Firming as Favorites to Hold House in 2026
Democrats have strengthened their position to retain control of the House of Representatives in the 2026 midterms, with contracts rising to 78¢.

The Senate race remains a toss-up, with Republicans at 57¢ to take control.

How we compute these odds
SimpleFunctions aggregates live prediction-market contracts from Kalshi and Polymarket. Each slug groups contracts that resolve on the same underlying event, identified by venue event_id.
For binary slugs, the headline probability is the liquidity-weighted mid-price across all bound contracts. For multi-outcome slugs (e.g. elections with 3+ candidates), the headline is the leader’s price; we never arithmetically average disjoint outcomes — that would produce a number with no real-world meaning.
Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours; daily aggregates are computed at 04:00 UTC. The 30-day sparkline is drawn from per-ticker daily means stored in market_indicator_daily; 24h delta and movement events are derived from the same source.
