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 saw another small decline in his odds for re-election as his payout once again increased from 3.10X to 3.15X. This is the third decline in a row and the highest the payout has been to date. This is consistent with Trump hitting new lows in some of the approval polls. He remains the odds on favorite having almost as much odds as the next four competitors combined.
Deval Patrick made his debut in 14th place this week driven by news that the former Massachusetts Governor is being urged to run in 2020 by Obama’s inner circle. His payout is at 36.6X.
Bernie Sanders continued improving as his payout fell to 17.8X from 18.6X last week and 19.9X the previous week. This is the lowest payout he has been at. He remains in 5th place for the 8th straight week.
Mark Zuckerberg remained another hot name. His payout dropped from 24.9X to 23.2X and he moved up from 11th place to 8th place, the highest he has ever been. Speculation about him running increased as his non-profit hired a former Obama and Clinton pollster/adviser.
