Despite what many perceived as a bad week for the President including criticism for his meeting with Putin, Donald Trump’s odds continued to improve this time from 2.40X to 2.38X, a new all time high. He has 5 times the odds of his next closest competitor Kamala Harris.
Donald Trump’s odds remained at 2.40X for the second straight week, an all time high. That is nearly 5 times the next closest competitor and 6.5 times better than the next closest Republican, Mike Pence.
Elizabeth Warren’s odds improved to 14.5X from 14.7X. That was enough to have her jump over Joe Biden into 4th place overall. She seems to be Trump’s favorite target, which of course helps her on the left. She had been as high as 2nd place for a few weeks back in February.
Cory Booker is considered another front runner for the Democrats. His odds dropped slightly from 30.2X to 31.3X. Those are his lowest odds of the cycle. He is currently in 9th place. He peaked at 19.6X and 5th place shortly after the 2016 election. Regardless of the odds, his actions seem to indicate he will be running, including planning to speak at a fundraising dinner in TX in September.
Donald Trump’s odds reached a new high at 2.40X. He was at 2.45X the previous week. The previous high was at 2.41X all the way back at the start of Jan 2017 (pre-inauguration). He has nearly 5 times the odds of his nearest competitor Kamala Harris who is at 11.5.
Most other competitors saw drops this week including:
Michelle Obama who dropped from 33.2X to 34.4X. She remains in 10th place but has seen her odds drop from 30.1X four weeks ago.
Joe Kennedy gave an interview and mentioned he’s not looking ahead to 2020. He has been dropping recently from 57.4X last week and 39.7X six weeks ago to the current 60.8X. That has taken him from 11th overall six weeks ago to 28th this week.
Mark Zuckerberg has also seen a significant drop the past few weeks. He was at 44.8X and 16th place just five weeks ago. He dropped to 34th place last week (70.4X) and 39th place this week (83.1X)
