The resolution rules clearly designate CNN's national exit poll for the US House as the primary source, with a precise snapshot timestamp of 12:00 PM ET on November 6, 2026, and an unambiguous fallback hierarchy (CBS, then ABC, then Other). However, there is an exceptional tie-breaking clause where a tie for the greatest share resolves to whichever tied party comes first alphabetically (e.g., Democrat before Republican), which could produce an unexpected result if a tie occurs.

Market explained before close

This market measures which political party wins the largest share of white voters in the 2026 U.S. House midterm elections according to specific national exit polls, with ties broken alphabetically.

How it resolves

The market resolves to the party that wins the greatest share of white voters in national exit polling for the U.S. House. In the event of a tie for first place, the market resolves based on the tied party whose name comes first alphabetically. The market resolves to Other if none of the designated organizations provide applicable exit polling by November 7, 2026, at 11:59PM ET. Resolution relies on CNN exit polling viewed at 12:00PM ET on November 6, 2026. If unavailable at that time, the market waits one full calendar day for an update before falling back to exit polling from CBS, and then ABC.
