This “trading” that's done....is it only US citizens or can anyone “trade”? If the latter is the case....and if foreigners represent an important portion of the total “trading” then these results would be pretty useless I'd say.

Why? This isn't a poll. It's a bet. With money on the line, the idea is that participants aren't betting on who they want to win, but on who they think will win given the polls and other factors.
