Trump’s odds continued to improve this week despite what again seemed to be a bad week in the news. This week tapes of Trump and his lawyer Cohen discussing a payoff surfaced, and he once again reached a new high as far as odds. He improved from 2.38X to 2.35X. This is a new all time high and he has now either been flat or improved for 18 straight weeks.
Another person reaching an all time high this week is Joe Biden who improved from 14.3X to 14.1X. Axios reports Biden is the one person Trump fears the most as he may flip Pennsylvania. Biden has seen slow but steady improvement since the end of the 2016 elections.
One less known name that is raising his profile is Montana Governor Steve Bullock. He is the next chairman of the National Governors Association and gives Democrats a way to get back the rural voters that seem to have left the party.
Will Trump’s competition in 2020 come from another business leader? One Republican super PAC seems to think so and is busy digging up dirt on those business leaders. Of the leaders mentioned in the article, the tops as far as odds are:
- Jamie Dimon in 11th place at 44.3X
- Howard Schultz in 14th place at 52.5X
- Bob Iger in 36th place at 81.0X
- Mark Cuban in 49th place at 99.8X
