Intrade currently has 11 markets running associated with the 2012 Iowa Caucus to be held Tuesday, January 3, 2012.
- In my experience Intrade markets have historically been reliable predictors of election results. For example, during the 2008 presidential primary season Intrade's closing prices for the Kentucky primary for Hillary Clinton were $96.10 to Barak Obama's $3.00.
- Hillary Clinton won the Kentucky primary with 65% of the vote.
- The 2008 Oregon primary market showed Barak Obama leading with a closing price of $97.00 to Hillary Clinton's $2.80.
- Barak Obama won the Oregon primary with 59% of the vote.
- Currently, Intrade shows the Republican candidates have the following chance of winning today's caucus:
28% Ron Paul
24% Rick Santorum
0.9% Newt Gingrich
0.2% Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann
0.1% Jon Huntsman
Please check back tomorrow for Iowa caucus results.
