Polling

The section below displays national polling averages for the 2024 Democratic and Republican presidential nominations from RealClearPolitics.

Prediction markets

The section below displays national PredictIt share prices and RealClearPolitics prediction market averages for the 2024 Democratic and Republican presidential nominations.

What is a prediction market?

Prediction markets allow users to purchase shares relating to the outcome of events using real money. Each event, such as an election, has a number of contracts associated with it, each correlating to a different outcome. For instance, an election contested between four candidates would be represented by eight separate contracts, with each contract correlating to a particular candidate winning or losing the election.

The share price in each individual forecast rises and falls based on market demand. Once the event’s outcome is decided, holders of shares that correlate with the correct outcome receive a payout for each share they held.

For example, a user buys 10 shares at 20 cents each in a presidential primary saying Candidate A will win. If Candidate A wins the election, the user earns $10. If the candidate loses, the user earns no money and loses his original $2 investment.

Why do prediction markets matter?

Prediction markets can be used to gain insight into the outcome of elections. Microsoft Research economist David Rothschild argued that they are better suited to the task than polls: “I can create a poll that can mimic everything about a prediction market…except markets have a way of incentivizing you to come back at 2 a.m. and update your answer.”[8][9][10]

Effect of the 2020 census on electoral votes

Every ten years, the United States conducts the census, a complete count of the U.S. population. The data gleaned from the census process is used to determine several things, including legislative district lines, a state’s number of U.S. House representatives, and the number of votes a state has in the Electoral College.

The 2024 presidential election will be the first presidential election to take place using the electoral vote counts produced by the 2020 census. Six states gained votes in the Electoral College, while seven states lost votes. See the table below for exact figures.

Electoral votes gained and lost after the 2020 census State Votes gained (new total) State Votes lost (new total) Texas +2 (40) California -1 (54) Colorado +1 (10) Illinois -1 (19) Florida +1 (30) Michigan -1 (15) Montana +1 (4) New York -1 (28) North Carolina +1 (16) Ohio -1 (17) Oregon +1 (8) Pennsylvania -1 (19) West Virginia -1 (4)
