Gosh, I'm amazed at how close to reality that probably is. What's their track (no pun intended) record?

Generally, political futures markets are very accurate because people are betting with their own money.

On the other hand, the betting on the Iowa outcome was not especially accurate.

This may be due to the complexity of the caucus system.

Shoot, last election they could not even accurately project the winner of each state a day before the election, now they want to tell us they know 9 months before the election.....

It's a market. The market usually knows best.
