2020 US Presidential Odds
Donald Trump’s first year and a half of office was, by virtually any metric, a complete and absolute disaster. The POTUS has assaulted the intelligence community, jeopardized connections with America’s longest-standing allies, endorsed alleged sexual predators, and controlled the forcible separation of children in their families.
Despite his many scathing scandals and controversies, Trump somehow stays the overwhelming favorite to win the next US Presidential election in 2020. The Donald’s present average odds of +110 are 990 points greater than his next closest competition. That isn’t only a gap — it is yawning chasm — and it could become even broader unless something changes soon.
June 28, 2019: Donald Trump is still favored to win against the 2020 Election with -120 typical odds, but Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren are gaining ground. Harris’ typical US Presidential chances went from +1300 on June 10th to +820 on June 28th and Warren’s travelled from +1700 to +1100 over precisely the exact same period of time.
June 10, 2019: Andrew Yang is emerging as a genuine contender with +2100 odds.
May 27, 2019: Oddsmakers appear to be losing faith in Pete Buttigieg, whose typical US Presidential odds lengthened from +1200 on May 16th to +1500 on May 27th.
May 16, 2019: Trump’s 2020 Presidential chances remain unchanged despite damning new taxation documents that show he lost over $1 billion from 1985 to 1994.
April 25, 2019: Joe Biden is officially making his move. The former VP has declared his intentions to run for President in 2020.
March 25, 2019: The Mueller Report is outside and Donald Trump appears to have emerged unscathed… up to now. The POTUS saw his odds improve from +110 to +100.
January 22, 2019: Is Donald Trump’s government shutdown shutting down him from re-election as President of the USA in 2020? It certainly seems that way because his chances have shrunk from +120 to +180.
January 10, 2019: Don’t look now, but Elizabeth Warren has emerged as a bona fide Republican candidate. Her odds improved considerably from +2300 on December 14th to +1700 on January 10th.
November 7, 2018: Trump’s chances to win the 2020 Presidential Election jumped from +100 to +110 hours after the Republicans lost the House of Representatives in the US Midterm Elections.
October 31, 2018: Halloween might be a scary time for a few, but not for Trump, whose chances of serving another term have shortened from +110 to +100 despite rampant speculation that the Republicans will lose the House of Representatives in the upcoming Midterms.
October 15, 2018: Donald Trump remains the heavy favorite to win the 2020 Presidential Election with odds of +110. His next nearest competition, Kamala Harris, remains far back in +1000.
