Trump Sees Small Decline as First Russia Indictments Headline News; Kamala Harris Reaches New High; Obama Drops Despite Leading Poll; Garcetti Makes Debut

After seven weeks of drifting up, Donald Trump’s odd saw a small decline as the payout increased from 3.25X to 3.27X.  This drop coincided with the first indictments in the Russia investigation.  It will be interesting to see if it bumps back up as the headlines change to the President’s Asia trip over the next two weeks.

Kamala Harris keeps reaching new highs.  Her payout dropped from 16.4X to 15.4X and she remains in 4th place.  She made news this week by becoming the first Senate Democrat vowing to oppose any government funding bill unless Congress takes action on the DREAMers. Many see this as a 2020 ploy.

Michelle Obama saw a big decline moving from 20.4X to 21.3X. That is a new low for her, but she remains in 6th place.  She was at 12.1X and in 4th place at the end of 2016.  This drop comes despite her leading a recent survey of Democratic primary voters.

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti made his debut on the list in 44th place with a payout of 82X.  This came as he announced he would not be running for Governor and as he launched a Non Profit with other mayors called Accelerator for America.

Trump’s Odds Continue to Drift Up; Pence at a New Low; Warren Ends Downward Trend; Oprah up to 7th Place

Donald Trump’s odds improved for the 7th straight week.  His payout has decreased from 3.33X to 3.25X.  It was at 3.45X seven weeks ago.  These are Trump’s best odds since the middle of August.

The same can’t be said for Trump’s VP, Mike Pence.  Although he remains a solid 2nd place, his payout increased from 9.8X to 9.9X.  This is another new low for Pence, and he has been down 4 of the last 5 weeks.

Elizabeth Warren showed some signs of life this week.  Although she’s been the leading Democrat since the beginning of this election cycle, her odds had reach a new low last week with a payout of 11.9X. She had peaked several times at 9.7X.  This week she was able to reverse the recent negative trend and improved her odds as her payout fell to 11.7X, the best odds in four weeks.

One of the hotter names the last five weeks has been Oprah Winfrey.  She once again improved, this time from 25.6X to 24.9X. This was enough to have her jump into 7th place overall.  She was in 28th place just six weeks ago.

Trump Continues to Edge Higher; Sanders Strong After NH Poll; Clinton Improves Despite Saying She Will not Run; Franken up into Top 25

In what looks like a replay of the 2016 election, three of the larger improvements  this week were from Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders, and Hillary Clinton.

Trump’s odds saw another improvement, this time with the payout dropping from last week’s 3.38X to this week’s 3.33X.  These are the best odds he has had in 9 weeks.

Bernie Sanders saw his odds improve to a new high as his payout dropped from 18.3X to 17.7X.  Although a new NH poll showed he is currently the favorite for the Democratic nomination from that state, he is  still behind Elizabeth Warren (11.9X) and Kamala Harris (16.4X) as far as odds for the nomination.

Hillary Clinton’s odd’s improved despite her saying she will not run again.The payout improved from 35.5X to 34.0X, her highest in 6 weeks. This moved her up one spot from 13th place to 12th place.

Al Franken had the biggest move for the week as his payout improved from 57.1X to 49.5X.  This was enough to move him from 30th place to 23rd place.  That is the highest he has been at this entire cycle.  Franken made news this week as he grilled Jeff Sessions in the Senate hearings.
