Prediction markets Polymarket and Kalshi correctly anticipated 98% of outcomes in the U.S. midterm elections, according to the report. The two platforms have drawn attention for their accuracy in forecasting political results ahead of the vote. The article questions whether similar predictive performance can be expected for France's next presidential election. It frames the French race as the next major test of whether prediction-market pricing can match the U.S. track record.
