Paradigm's first public opinion survey of the year reveals significant insights into U.S. voter engagement with prediction markets. According to Odaily, the survey indicates that over one-third, approximately 36%, of American voters have engaged with prediction markets, either by placing bets or browsing for information. However, the majority of Americans remain undecided about prediction markets. Even among the 95% who have heard of them, nearly half lack a clear stance, including those who have used them.
In terms of user demographics, individuals under 50 years old make up 66% of prediction market participants, with 20% aged 18-34 and 27% aged 35-49. Non-white voters show a slightly higher usage rate of prediction markets compared to white voters, and men are significantly more likely to use these markets than women, with usage rates of 46% and 31%, respectively.
