The 2026 midterm elections are scheduled to be held on November 3, 2026. This market will resolve according to the number of seats held by the Republican Party in the US House of Representatives as a result of the 2026 midterm elections. This market will resolve based on the results of all US House of Representatives elections, including special elections, that are scheduled to occur in November 2026 as of October 31, 2026. If a required runoff for any such election could change the market’s outcome, the market will remain open until that runoff is conclusively called by this market’s resolution sources. A candidate's party will be determined by their ballot-listed or otherwise identifiable affiliation with that party at the time all of the 2026 House elections are conclusively called by this market's resolution sources. The resolution source for this market is the Associated Press, Fox News, and NBC. This market will resolve once all three sources have conclusively called all US House of Representatives elections. If all three sources do not achieve consensus in calling the relevant races for this market, it will resolve based on the official certification.Trader consensus on Polymarket prices Republican House seats below 190 at 35.5% and 190-194 at 29.5% following the November 2026 midterms, reflecting a sustained Democratic edge of 4-6 points on the generic ballot in recent polls from RCP, Fox News, and CNN through early April. This lead, combined with 35 Republican retirements versus 20 Democratic ones as of mid-April—many in battleground districts—amplifies historical midterm penalties for the president's party, which averages about 26 House seat losses. Republicans' current narrow majority faces headwinds from youth voter disapproval in the latest Yale poll and competitive swing states, though strong GOP base turnout or primary upsets could narrow the gap ahead of June primaries.
