Reuters/Ipsos Poll: Americans Oppose Election Betting

A Reuters/Ipsos poll finds that a majority of Americans oppose betting on election outcomes through prediction markets, according to the reported survey finding, adding public-sentiment pressure to a product category that has drawn regulatory scrutiny as platforms seek to expand political event contracts to retail users. The Reuters/Ipsos survey, as reported in its headline finding, found that more than half of Americans oppose election prediction-market betting. The poll attributes the opposition specifically to the act of wagering on election outcomes, rather than to the broader use of prediction markets for forecasting or information aggregation.
