Trump Overtakes Biden In Tracker Of Betting Markets Data

US

A tracker of betting and prediction markets odds, has shown former President Donald Trump as the prediction market favourite to win the 2024 presidential election for the first time.

  • According, to ElectionBettingOdds, Trump's implied probability of winning is 32%. Marginally ahead of President Joe Biden with 31.6%.
  • The data suggests that a slew of recent negative publicity over President Biden's age and the upcoming Republican impeachment inquiry in President Biden's foreign business dealings may be contributing to a tightening of the race.
  • Advocates of prediction market data argue that the liquid nature of the markets create a more accurate picture of sentiment.
  • The data should be approached cautiously but taken with polling data hinting at similarly tightening margins, and a downtrend in Biden's approval rating, there are clear signs that the 2024 race will be closer than anticipated for much of the first half of the year.
