2020 Weekly Odds, Biden 2020, Bloomberg 2020, Buttigieg 2020, Klobuchar 2020, Sanders 2020, Trump 2020, Warren 2020

Sanders’ win in NV propels his odds to another new high; Trump stays near all time highs; Biden big winner as centrist Dems look to consolidate; Bloomberg sees second big drop in a row, as he continues to eye Big Tuesday; Warren and Klobuchar reach new lows

Donald Trump’s Odds remained near an all time high for a fourth straight week coming in at 1.60X vs. last week’s 1.59X. The odds had been at 1.59X. the all time high, for three straight weeks. Trunp’s odds against the top 5 candidates decreased slightly from 56.7% to 56.5% as their combined odds improved from 2.09X to 2.08X.

Sanders dominated Nevada and his odds improved from their previous high of 4.22X to this week’s 3.99X. Sanders won just shy of 47% of the vote and 2/3 of the delegates.

Joe Biden was the odds winner on the week as it became clear that Democrats not wanting Sanders have to unite behind one candidate. His odds jumped from 20.3X to 8.71X, his highest in four weeks. He is likely to win South Carolina. If he disappoints, the centrist Democrats will have to find someone else to get behind for Super Tuesday, including possibly Bloomberg.

Michael Bloomberg had his second bad week in a row dropping from 7.58X to 12.0X, which is where he was six weeks ago. He took part in his second debate and had a small improvement but still not enough. He of course has bid everything on Super Tuesday and would likely benefit from a Sanders win with all the moderate votes being split up.

Buttigieg, Warren, and Klobuchar all had their odds cut by nearly a half as the realization that they have not done well enough to jump close to Sanders and are not likely to do well in South Carolina, means they have very little left for Super Tuesday:

  • Buttigieg dropped from 24.1X to 45.4X, his lowest in 4 weeks
  • Warren dropped from 53.4X to 97.6X, her all time low. She has the high for the Democrats this cycle (higher than Sanders is currently at) at 3.3X in October of 2019
  • Klobuchar dropped from 86.7X to 178.5X, a new all time low for her

2020 Weekly Odds, Biden 2020, Bloomberg 2020, Klobuchar 2020, Sanders 2020, Trump 2020, Warren 2020

Pre NV Caucus post debate odds: Bloomberg takes incoming from all sides, odds sink; Sanders at an all time high while Warren’s “fiery” debate performance brings life back to her odds; Targeting of Bloomberg provides relief for Biden, whose odds improve; Trump’s odds still at all time high

Donald Trump’s odds remained at their all time high of 1.59X for the third straight week as the Democrats used the NV debate to turn their attacks on each other, mostly Bloomberg. As for the top 5 Democrats their odds improved slightly from 2.13X to 2.09X as Warren came back to life. This gives Trump an implied likelihood of beating the top 5 of 56.7%, down slightly from last week’s all time high of 57.2%.

It was an eventful week for the Democrats that included Michael Bloomberg’s first debate (coincidentally the most watched Democratic debate in history) and that ends in tonight’s NV caucus.

Coming into the week, Michael Bloomberg was the hottest candidate having jumped from 6th place to 2nd place in a mere 7 weeks and having tripled his odds over that period. Bloomberg managed to qualify for the NV debate last minute and chose to take part in it, even though he is not taking part in the caucus. Perhaps that was a mistake, as the other Democrats piled on the former NYC Mayor. On the other hand, perhaps it was a good strategy to get that out of the way before the next debate, which will be the last before Super Tuesday, Bloomberg’s big target all along. His odds dropped from 5.16X to 7.58X, still his second highest ever.

There seemed to be two big beneficiaries from Bloomberg’s fall. Bernie Sanders’ odds rose from 5.67X to 4.22X, which was enough for him to jump over Bloomberg for second overall, and also set a new personal high for the Senator.

The other big winner was Elizabeth Warren. The Senator was “on fire” during the debate, but some wonder if it’s a bit too late. Her odds showed a big rebound from 93.2X to 53.4X. That is a huge jump, but keeping things in perspective, she was at 38.3X the week before just prior to the NH Primary.

Joe Biden was for once not the target of his rivals, and that seemed to help. His odds improved from 22.3 to 20.3. He remains in 4th place.

Amy Klobuchar will need to surprise in either NV or SC or her campaign may run out of time, air, money…. Her odds dropped from 43.9X to 86.7X. She is still above the 122.7X she was at before the NH primary, but she will need to show she can sustain momentum from NH in NV and/or SC, two difficult states for her.

2020 Weekly Odds, Biden 2020, Bloomberg 2020, Buttigieg 2020, Clinton 2020, Klobuchar 2020, Patrick 2020, Sanders 2020, Trump 2020, Warren 2020, Yang 2020

Trump stays at all time highs; Bloomberg jumps Sanders for second Overall, although Sanders still leads in likelihood to win Democratic nomination; Klobuchar passes Warren after strong New Hampshire results

Donald Trump’s odds remained at their all time high of 1.59X this week. His odds vs. the top 5 Democrats dropped slightly however from 57.5% to 56.6% as the odds of the top 5 Democrats improved from 2.14X to 2.07X, a function of those outside the top 5 dropping in odds or dropping out all together (Yang, Patrick, Bennett).

For the second straight week the candidate making the most dramatic improvement near the top is Michael Bloomberg. His odds improved from 8.0X to 5.16X, his new all time high. This was enough for him to jump Bernie Sanders for second place overall. His rise had now led to some Twitter jabs between Bloomberg and Trump, a fellow longtime New Yorker. We won’t truly know about his candidacy until Super Tuesday (3/3) which will hold the first primaries he is competing in.

Bernie Sanders odds saw a small dip from 5.30X to 5.67X. These are now his lowest odds in 4 weeks. Although he drops to third overall in the odds to be President, he is still in second place to become the Democratic candidate.

With Bloomberg asserting himself as the moderate candidate and Sanders as the progressive, the odds for the majority of the other leaders dropped:

  • Biden dropped from 12.7X to 22.3X, his lowest in over two years. He is still in 4th place overall. He needs a win in NV and SC to have any shot at the nomination.
  • Buttigieg dropped from 15.2X to 22.7X which is still higher than pre Iowa (45.7X). He is still in 5th place overall.
  • Warren dropped from 38.3X to 93.2X, her all time low. She dropped from 6th place to 8th place falling behind Amy Klobuchar and Hillary Clinton.

Amy Klobuchar rose from 10th place to 6th place as her odds improved from 122.7X to 43.9X. These are her highest odds in 11 months. She finished an impressive 3rd place in New Hampshire. Like many that have risen from outside the top 5 to the lead group, she will now need to hold up to the added scrutiny.

Here is a trend of the top candidates and the odds of the top 20:
