Polymarket politics markets
Presidential races, congressional control, and confirmation fights are where Polymarket’s political books concentrate liquidity. This hub is a research cut of that tape: the twenty largest open politics markets by lifetime volume, plus the contracts whose implied Yes moved most over the last seven days. Volume is not a forecast — it is a map of where traders already posted size. A 70¢ Yes on a Senate seat is a priced consensus, not a poll. Use the screener for the full politics tab, movers for faster odds, and whale prints when a single fill re-rates a race. Polydata does not execute trades; these pages exist so journalists and researchers can see which political questions actually trade.
As of Oct 7, 2026, the 20 largest open Politics books on Polymarket total $901.46M lifetime volume.

Weekly movers (7d implied Yes)
Liquid open books with a usable reference fill. Δ is percentage points of implied Yes, not a trade signal.
