Prediction market × polls

José Antonio Kast won the runoff with 58% and will be Chile's next president. For months, though, polls put Jeannette Jara ahead in the first round (about 26%), while the market already priced Kast near 66% to win the election, anticipating the right uniting in the runoff. The market read the outcome; the poll measured only first-round vote. The gap between the two, candidate by candidate in the table below, is the signal AFOS tracks, not a polling error.
