Democratic challenger Joe Biden gets a little closer, but President Donald Trump is still the favorite heading into the general election. It’s a mixed week, meanwhile, for alternatives to the presumptive Democratic nominee.

What Are the Odds Donald Trump Wins Re-Election?

Donald Trump remains at -125 this week. Continuing on a theme from last week with his support for the Department of Justice dropping charges against former National Security advisor Michael Flynn, Trump pushed the “Obamagate” conspiracy theory with what he called "fresh evidence" that Biden was involved in “unmasking” Flynn in investigative documents.

While Biden denied the allegation, and there’s no indication that any of the officials listed in Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell’s report were responsible for leaking his name to the media, it’s clearly the line of attack Trump is going with after multiple other tries.

It’s also the play most reminiscent to the 2016 James Comey letter that helped give the election to Trump at the last minute, and now the president can order such releases himself. Meanwhile, his approval rating remains in the survivable negative range, and while his polls still don’t look great, there’s still time for those to move.

Joe Biden 2020 Odds

Biden shortens to +135 this week. He’s begun a new round of outreach to Bernie Sanders voters, with varying degrees of success among leftist pundits. They may well be the last voter group Biden needs to secure. He’s cut into Trump’s lead among seniors (a huge problem for the President’s chance of holding Florida) and leads among independent voters, including the “double disapprove” segment Trump rode to victory in 2016.

The former vice president maintains decent leads in national polling and in several of the swing states he’d need to flip to win the election, but they’re not invulnerable this far out, and are smaller than those Clinton had in 2016.

Hillary Clinton 2020 Odds

The most-talked-about non-candidate of 2020 drifts to +2500 this week. While she spent some time attacking Jared Kushner for vague comments about election timing, she didn’t really figure into the presidential race as much as at other points in the cycle.

Michelle Obama 2020 Odds

The former First Lady remains at +4000. Biden has spoken specifically to the prospect of having Michelle Obama on the ticket, saying he’d take her “in a heartbeat.” It seems in question how serious he was, and how much she would be about taking it.

Andrew Cuomo 2020 Odds

Andrew Cuomo remains at +5000 this week. While he’s extended the stay-at-home order in New York through mid-next month, most of the country’s focus is off the coronavirus itself and onto the long, potentially bleak recovery. Fair or not, the public eye is off his specific path to popularity, and it was never clear how he’d turn that into a last-minute run.

Bernie Sanders 2020 Odds

Bernie Sanders remains at +5000 this week. He “lost” prominent surrogate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to the unity pitch he himself has supported, and drew some ire from partisans for missing a vote to ban warrantless Internet history searches that failed by one “Yea.” While he doesn’t seem to be looking for the nomination himself, those two moves make it unlikely he’ll get it.

Mike Pence 2020 Odds

Mike Pence holds at +6600 this week. With his pandemic task force winding down, the majority of speculation revolves around the coronavirus winding its way through the Executive Branch’s top two offices. Other than his age, Trump has shown no sign of an inability to ward off the virus himself, which would be the vice president’s main path to 2020.

Swing-State Odds

The state odds predict the same result (an Electoral College win for Biden), but a couple of the key swing states have seen their odds shift. The odds of a first-in-a-generation blue Arizona got slightly better (-167 to +120), Biden’s native Pennsylvania got a little tighter (also -167 to +120).

Winning Party Odds

The winning party odds are unchanged this week, with Republicans at -125 and Democrats at -106. All independents hold at +5000, though likely Green and Libertarian nominees Howie Hawkins and Justin Amash haven’t made our odds yet.
