After 20 straight weeks of his odds improving, Donald Trump finally saw a dip. His odds dropped from 2.31X to 2.33X. That is still the second highest he has been at this whole cycle and is still nearly 5 times more likely to get elected as the next competitor.
Eric Garcetti says he’ll decide on whether he is running after the midterms. TMZ is more confident about him running. His odds improved from 62.8X to 54.7X. That is a new high and moves him from 24th place to 15th place.
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
There was little change in Donald Trump’s odds post Comey testimony. For the third straight week the payout was at 3.0X . His probability did have a small move up to 20.8% from 20.5%, his highest in three weeks. He has a large lead with nearly three times the odds of his next closest competitor, VP Mike Pence.
Bernie Sanders has increased his profile leading the opposition and his odds reflect that. His payout dropped from 23.6X to 22.6X. That is his second lowest of the cycle (22.5X beginning of April). He remains in 7th place overall, 5th among Democrats.
Marco Rubio moved up from 19th place to 18th place. His payout dropped from 38.7X to 36.6X. That is his lowest since the end of the year. He is the top Republican outside of the Trump orbit (Pence and Ryan are ahead of him in the odds).
