Anybody know? I'm curious because things look very good for the Democrats in the Senate races on TradeSports.

Depends on the time frame. After the botched exit polls came out on election day 2004, Bush was a 6-1 underdog. Within hours he had won the election.

Tradesports still suffers from relatively low volume but it generally reflects how people are thinking about a given race. If most people get one wrong, so does tradesports.

Tradesports = Polling + exit polls + ignorance
