• ▸Transparency — The story identifies sources and discloses limitations in polling and prediction-market estimates.

The article attributes analysis to a named political science professor, gives polling details and describes limitations in both polling and prediction markets. It also reports that the campaigns were contacted, but the central forecast relies on sparse polling and market estimates, and the article offers limited direct comment from the candidates.

The article includes perspectives and endorsements favoring both candidates, cites an outside expert and explains the limits of the available polling. The candidates’ campaigns were contacted, but the article does not include direct responses from them, and independent polling on the runoff is limited.
