Updated Weekly Odds – What’s More Likely? A Female President or a Republican President?

Another week of very little change as far as the odds.

Hillary Clinton continues to lead at 38.6% with her closest Democratic rivals far behind.  Elizabeth Warren stays in 6th place overall at 2.8% and Joe Biden in 7th at 2.3%

On the Republican side Marco Rubio continues to lead at 5.0% followed by Jeb Bush and Chris Christie at 4.1% and 4.0% respectively.

The only big movement among the top candidates was Mitt Romney who jumped from 14th last week to 11th this week hopping over Tim Pawlenty, Scott Walker, and Martin O’Malley.  Romney bottomed two weeks ago when he was quoted saying  ‘I’m Not Planning on Running’ .  Since that comment speculation of him running has been on the rise.

Betting odds not only exist for what candidate wins the presidency, but also for what party will win and what the gender of the winner will be. What’s more likely?  Having a female President or a Republican President?   Based on the odds, we are very likely to have a female President in 2016.  In fact it’s more likely that we have a female President than a male President (51.5% vs 48.5%).  As far as the likely party, right now the Democrats have the edge 62.7% to 36.7% for the Republicans.  Of course both of these are driven by Clinton’s high odds.

The top women in the Odds are Clinton (#1), Warren (#6), Kirsten Gillibrand (#15), Susana Martinez (#23), and Condoleeza Rice (#25)
