Thesis

Polymarket prices Dem control at 55% / Rep at 46% (volume $2M+, opened July 2025). EHIQ EHIQ register analysis on candidate language (April 2026 framework reading: "Republicans looking favorable on language") + per-race stress patterns puts Dem control closer to 47%. The map favors Dems on seats-up, but EHIQ register stress signals on Ossoff (GA, 3.631) and Peters (MI, 4.387) offset map advantage. Modest 8pp upstream underprice on Dem control.
