Joe Biden 2020 Odds

US Presidential Election Odds 2020 Weekly Rundown: Biden Back in Lead 1

After a long drift and a week tied with Trump, Biden shortens to -121 and regains favorite status. This is likely because of another bad week for Trump and a reconciliation between the odds and traditional indicators. The money on Biden is starting to even out, to match the generally rosy picture for the former vice president in the polls.

US Presidential Election Odds 2020 Weekly Rundown: Biden Back in Lead 2

A raft of bad news sets Trump back to +100 after the president spent a few weeks either even or slightly favored. The fallout from Trump’s alleged comments about military members killed in action being “losers” and “suckers” is uncertain. The story’s anonymous sourcing means it’s unlikely to convince anyone who was already voting for Trump, but the story seems to have more traction than past allegations — or on-record comments.

Journalist Bob Woodward’s recording of Trump admitting he was “playing down” the coronavirus threat has made bigger waves, especially as cases and deaths continue. There’s also the more conventional action-balancing factor now that the money’s no longer heavily in his favor. It’s not all bad news for Trump: New polls show he has made up ground with Florida Latinos, a group that could be decisive if he can claw back even a few seniors disappointed with his pandemic response. He’s also the far-and-away favorite among bettors to win the first debate, scheduled for Sept. 29.

Candidates with Longer than +10000 Odds

Among the longshots, Vice President Mike Pence (+20000), former Sen. Hillary Clinton (+25000) and rapper Kanye West (+50000) remain in place, as does Democratic VP nominee Kamala Harris (+10000).

Swing State Odds

Likely owing to his strong Latino numbers, the parties are deadlocked in Florida at -118. And the margin in Arizona is negligible — the Democrats are at -125, the GOP at -112. Democrats, however, are still favored by decent margins in Michigan (-265 to +180), Pennsylvania (-167 to +120), and Wisconsin (-200 to +140), predicting 278 Electoral College votes and the White House for Biden.

Electoral College Odds

Despite the trends in individual candidates and states, the best odds (+500) are for Republicans to roughly repeat their 306-vote victory, with Democrats at +650 to reach 270.
