Prediction market × polls

Claudia Sheinbaum won the 2024 presidential election with about 59.8% of the vote, the largest vote count in Mexican history, and became the country's first woman president. The signal showed early: from January the market already gave Sheinbaum about 90% probability of winning, while polls measured her vote share around 50%. The market treated the race as decided long before election day, and the actual result ran even higher than the polls suggested. The market measures probability of winning, the poll measures vote share; that gap, candidate by candidate in the table, is the signal AFOS tracks, not a polling error.
