**[Survey Shows Majority of Americans Oppose Betting on Election Outcomes]** Odaily Planet Daily News: A survey of 4,506 adults across the United States reveals that the majority of respondents oppose betting on U.S. elections and other government actions through prediction markets. 69% of Democratic respondents and 61% of Republican respondents are against betting on election outcomes. The survey was conducted from September 30 to October 5. The prediction market industry, driven by platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi, allows users to bet on U.S. elections, government policy changes, and sports events. These activities have sparked multiple regulatory lawsuits between state governments and federal agencies. The survey also shows that 43% of respondents oppose betting on professional sports events, while 29% expressed support. The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump is pushing for the industry to be regulated by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Meanwhile, 39 states and the District of Columbia have submitted amicus briefs, stating that the disputes between federal and state regulators have escalated into a nationwide jurisdictional conflict.
