Analysis

All 8 agents agree on the core dynamics: Hilton leads one poll but trails in another, Democratic fragmentation helps Republicans, and the Hilton-Bianco split is the key variable. The ensemble mean of 57.8% vs market price of 53% suggests a ~5% edge, but this is borderline given: (1) conflicting polls create genuine uncertainty about Hilton's true position, (2) 3+ months and 21% undecided mean high volatility, (3) the edge is at the minimum threshold and confidence is low across agents (avg ~0.55). The structural math (P(R advances) × P(Hilton is that R) + P(two Rs)) supports ~58-60%, but the IVP poll showing Hilton 3rd is a serious counterpoint. With marginal edge, low confidence, and long time horizon, this is a SKIP despite slight positive expected value.
