If the same graph shows Democrats at a greater percentage of support than Republicans for August 15, 2022 at the time of the check, this market will resolve to "Democrats". If the same graph shows Republicans and Democrats at an equal percentage of support, this market will resolve to 50-50. The resolution source for this market is the FiveThirtyEight "Do voters want Republicans or Democrats in Congress?" graph, with the "POLL TYPE" option set to "Generic ballot" and the "CYCLE" option set to "2022". The graph is presently located at https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/generic-ballot/. Changes in the methodology by which FiveThirtyEight calculates this graph's figures will have no bearing on the resolution of this market. This resolution source for this market will be checked on August 16, 2022 at 12 PM ET. This market can only resolve after this check has been performed. If data for the date of August 15 is not available on this market's check time, the resolution source will be checked every six hours with the final check at August 17, 12 PM ET. If data for August 15, 2022 remains unavailable at the final check time, this market will resolve based on the value of the data point for the nearest prior available day. Please note the resolution source reports the rating value to only one decimal point (e.g. 42.8%, 33.9%, etc). Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving the market.
