- Polls: Voters favor federal oversight of prediction markets

A minority of voters (8%) advocate banning prediction markets, while 67% believe adults should decide their use. Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chair Mike Selig faces opposition from states and tribes seeking to ban or regulate the markets.
