Dem House/Senate odds are 63.1% and 32.6% in the futures market.
At present, a Democratic win in the House of Representatives is largely priced into the stock market, which has rallied to new highs through the campaign process thus far. Futures markets put the likelihood of a Democratic takeover, or at least 15 net wins in the House, at 63.1%, according to InTrade.

Odds of a Democratic takeover in the Senate have been increasing of late, but remain at 32.6%, according to InTrade. In the Senate, the Democrats must win a net six seats to gain control.

1. That's Like Following Geese To See Which Way Is North
In-Trade is like watching geese to see which way is north rather than consulting a compass.

2. Somebody tell Hastert
it isn't the tax cuts working, it isn't their policies it's the thought of them being overturned!
