Alea jacta est !
Final pre-election day forecast landscape. Skilled forecasters give an edge to Harris. Betting markets (except PredictIt) give an edge to Trump. Statistical models occupy the toss-up middle-ground.

I have a feeling this will not even be close.
Harris' chances continued to improve overnight. Interestingly, the US-based mrkts give her better odds (51% avrg) than the foreign-based mrkts (46% avrg). She's the favorite of the skilled forecasters panels (Hypermind, Good Judgment, Metaculus), with 55% probability avrg.

The October Trump bubble seems blown.

It looks like there is consensus on Harris trending back up in the final stretch. @Hypermind_com is still the most optimistic for her vs @polymarket the most pessimistic.

Herding behavior or crowd wisdom? There is cognitive diversity in the sense that all these platforms operate quite differently (geography, demographics, rewards, etc.). Yet, they may not think really independently of each other (except 538).
It is remarkable that our prediction market is now (Oct 26) the only crowd-forecasting or statistical model that still gives Kamala Harris slightly more chances of winning (54%) than losing. All others are now favoring Trump more or less boldly.

There's plenty of dumb money out there.
Are the "real money" markets out of line?

In today's Wapo, @IgnatiusPost mentions an intelligence estimate that looks very much like an OVERestimate compared to the prediction market's at the time. Just one data point, of course, but it's so rare to be able to compare these things...

Voting for president in NY state isn’t super impactful, but it feels good anyway.

The 2nd assassination attempt on #Trump has had no impact on his chances to win the election as estimated by our prediction market. This is in stark contrast to the uplift he got from the first attempt. #newnormal ?

Tired playbook?
Our prediction market thinks that @realDonaldTrump's chances of winning back the White House (33%) are lower than at the same point in time in 2020 (37%) and 2016 (40%). @KamalaHarris @VP is in better position to win than Clinton (pre-Access Hollywood tape) or Biden were.

Oh, the irony!
Today, on our prediction market Trump's chances of winning back the White House reached a new low, about 33%. In fact, they are as low as Biden's chances on the day that he dropped out of the race in July.

I wish X would offer an "unserious" or "weird" feedback button in addition to "like".

Replying to @Polymarket
@polymarket is clearly delusional. Trump bias syndrome anyone?

Par rapport aux 143 sondages "rolling" publiés entre le 1er février et le 22 avril concernant un duel Macron-Le Pen, la prévision collective du panel @Hypermind_com - @LePoint était plus proche du résultat final dans 128 cas, soit 90 % des fois. lepoint.fr/presidentielle/ma…
Large-scale proof of the super power of forecasting crowds, in one short video.
😷Forecasting Covid-19 is hard Too many variables, too many unknown unknowns, too few data. We teamed up with @skirkell from @JHSPH_CHS to put the wisdom of a crowd of 652 medical and forecasting experts to the test. 🎯It beat every single individual youtu.be/wFKPJd3SqCM
