Most Americans polled oppose betting on elections: Reuters
Summary
A Reuters/Ipsos poll of 4,506 US adults found 69% of Democrats and 61% of Republicans oppose using prediction markets to bet on election results. Respondents were also more opposed than supportive of betting on professional sports. Polymarket and Kalshi face lawsuits over whether state or federal authorities regulate these markets. The Trump administration is pursuing federal oversight through the CFTC, while states challenge its authority; the dispute may ultimately reach the Supreme Court.
