Democratic debate odds movement: Warren reaches a new high, Donors losing confidence in Kamala Harris, and Biden stable; Trump’s odds see another small decline; Clinton’s odds jump 30% to highest in 6 months

Donald Trump’s odds continued their recent trend of small declines as they dropped from 2.01X to 2.03X. They have now been flat or lower to the prior week for six straight weeks and are at their lowest point since the end of June. Trump’s odds against the top 5 opponents remained flat at 48%, as the top 5 combined Democrats also saw a slight drop from 1.86X to 1.87X.

The biggest winner of the debate this week and all of the debates in general seems to be Elizabeth Warren who seems to be the one shaping the direction the primary and debates move towards. Her odds improved this week from 5.5X to 5.0X, not only an all time high for her, but also an all time high for any Democratic candidate. (Previous was Biden at 5.19X in June). She has improved after every single debate and has moved up from 12.1X prior to the start of the debates, the biggest improvement of any candidate.

The biggest loser this debate was Kamala Harris. She saw the biggest improvement after the first debate (improving from 14X to 8X), but saw a big drop after the second debate (6.3X to 8.0X) and this week after the third debate (14X to 19X). Her debate performance is beginning to hurt her with big donors.

The best way to describe Biden’s odds post this debate is “stable”. He dropped slightly from 6.7X to 6.8X. Biden had a horrible first debate, rebounded in the second, and seems to have solidified himself as the center-left candidate. This third debate had its share of bad headlines for Biden mostly related to age with a record player comment, a jab by Castro about his memory, and his teeth staying in his mouth.

The one unexpected movement in odds was for Hillary Clinton. Her odds jumped from 90.0X to 69.5X. These are her highest odds since March 2019 when she announced she would not be running. The interesting thing is she seems to be getting active in 2020 by advising Democratic odds front runner Elizabeth Warren.

Here are the odds of the candidate with better than 200 to 1 odds as well as a breakdown of how odds have shifted as a result of the debates.

2020 Weekly Odds, Biden 2020, Harris 2020, Sanders 2020, Trump 2020, Warren 2020, Yang 2020

Trump’s odds remained flat; Harris finally reverses downward trend; Yang at all time high, drawing attention from both Sanders and Trump supporters

Trump’s odds remained flat to last week’s 2.01X, close to his all time high set at the start of August of 1.90X, but also tied for his lowest odds in 10 weeks. Trump has seen his average net favorability rating drop from an average of -10 to the current -12 over those 70 days. His odds vs. the top 5 Democrats dropped from 48.9% to 48.0%, as their combined odds increased from 1.92X to 1.86X.

Although Elizabeth Warren (5.65X last week to 5.52X) and Bernie Sanders (11.1X last week vs. 10.9X this week) kept their momentum, the big movers for the Democrats this week were Kamala Harris and Andrew Yang.

Harris came into this week dropping in seven straight weeks over which her odds changed from 5.57X to last week’s 15.2X. She reversed that trend this week by improving to 14.3X. According to a Trump aide, she’s the candidate they most fear as she is the least flawed. Who knows if that’s truly what the Trump campaign believes or if that’s an attempt to help her bump Warren/Biden/Sanders down from the top.

Andrew Yang improved from 26.2X to 21.8X putting more space between his odds and those of Buttigieg, whom he passed last week. This is a new all time high for Yang. Oddly enough, he’s now drawing support from supporters of both Sanders and Trump.

Here are the the candidates that have a better than 200 to 1 shot.

2020 Weekly Odds, Buttigieg 2020, Gabbard 2020, Harris 2020, JoeWalsh 2020, Sanders 2020, Steyer 2020, Trump 2020, Warren 2020, Yang 2020

Trump’s odds see a small decline for fourth straight week; Warren continues to rise setting another high; Yang jumps Buttigieg for 5th place; Joe Walsh makes debut on the odds

Donald Trump saw his fourth straight drop in a row this week with the odds moving from 1.98X to 2.01X. Those are his lowest odds in 9 weeks. He’s not far off his all time however of 1.90X which he was at prior to this streak. His odds vs. the top 5 Democrats dropped from 49.3% to 48.9%. The combined odds of the top 5 Democrats is now at 1.92X.

Elizabeth Warren continued to rise, increasing her odds from 5.90X to 5.65X, another new high. She has improved in 18 of the last 19 weeks. She was at 34X when this rise started in late April.

Bernie Sanders had a good week as well with his odds rising from 12.0X to 11.1X. He now has a 5 week winning streak. This is the highest he has been in 11 weeks. He basically has half the odds of Warren.

Andrew Yang jumped into the 5th spot this week partly as a result of his gains and partly due to Pete Buttigieg’s continued continued struggles. Yang’s odds jumped from 28.5X to 26.2X, his highest in 9 weeks. Yang has a hardcore following that has claimed media bias against the candidate including this week by CNN. Buttigieg’s odds dropped from 24.4X to 28.7X, his lowest since the end of March. He has now declined the last 10 weeks. His campaign claims they are ready for “phase three”.

A couple of names that didn’t make the third Democratic debate saw big drops. Tulsi Gabbard dropped from 45.7X to 66.9X, her lowest in over 2 years (since March 2017). Tom Steyer couldn’t buy his way into the debate (although he’s likely to do so for the next debate). His odds dropped from 120.9X to 146.9X. They are still above the 200+ odds he’s been at prior to three weeks ago.

Joe Walsh formally announced his attempt to take on Trump in the Republican primary last Sunday. He makes his debut in the odds this week at 169X and in 22nd place.
