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 continued to improve inching up from 2.46X to 2.45X, his highest odds since the inauguration in Jan 2017. He has either been flat or improved the last 14 weeks. He was at 2.79X at the start of the streak.
Michael Bloomberg improved from 48.4X to 45.8X. This was enough to move him from 14th place to 13th place. He has been on a mini hot streak moving from 21st place at the beginning of the month. Bloomberg is making sizable contributions to help the Democrats win the House in 2018. Some think this may also be a way to set him up for a possible 2020 run.
Erica Garcetti improved from 68.1X to 67.3X and moving up from 32nd place to 31st. He was in 36th place four weeks ago. Garcetti continued to increase his profile this week by having an in depth interview with Vox
