Trump's probability, based on those betting odds has increased from 11% to 15% in just one week.

Whether intrinsically linked to what's happening on the ground or not, Support for Joe Biden in the betting for the Next US President is certainly on the wane.

On the 15th August his odds were at their lowest and probability the highest of retaining the position in 2024, since then, there has been a monumental absence of bets for Biden [which all seem to have come in for Trump] and his probability has taken a marked drop to just 18%

Whilst Trump's increase of 4% doesn't sound huge, when you consider he is just 3.5% behind Biden now in Probability terms according to bookmakers, we have a very interesting race on our hands.

Harris Continues to Drop

The odds on Kamala Harris becoming the next POTUS have been steadily dropping since mid-May and things have not stopped. She has lost a further 3% in probability terms and now is given a 12% chance of winning the position in the next election, as opposed to the lofty 21% she has just 3 months ago.
