Aside from a brief surge last month, Kamala Harris has been the odds-on favorite since early August. However, Trump is now once again back in the lead, further underscoring how tight the race is.
At the time this article was written, Trump’s odds were at 1.72, while Harris’s were at 2.10.
According to polls, Trump is leading in Arizona, Georgia and North Carolina, while Harris is ahead in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Nevada.
“Right now we are seeing more bets being placed on Trump. Odds fluctuations are heavily influenced by data from so-called ‘swing states,’ where small changes in one state can have a significant impact,” said Robin Olenius, Head of Public Relations at Betsson.
No More Debates
The vice presidential debate had no real impact on those odds, unlike the debate between Harris and Trump.
“During the debate, the odds began to shift, with a clear advantage for Harris. He has remained a favorite ever since. However, that was almost a month ago, and with no further debates scheduled, all attention is now focused on states that are still too unstable to predict the outcome. The current very slim odds, combined with recent trends, suggest that we are headed for a very close election,” Robin Olenius concluded.
