Election Day: Oddsmakers Give Trump 60-40 Lead on Election Day

Share

Former President Donald Trump is being forecasted as today’s election winner, according to the latest betting odds by Real Clear Politics. 

Over 7 different betting agencies have given President Trump a 60-40 advantage over Vice President Kamala Harris

Trump’s odds have trended upward in the days leading up to the presidential election. 

Regarding traditional polls, Trump is purportedly leading by slim margins amongst battleground states while tied or down by one or two percent on national polls

Trump’s boost in popularity comes after holding historic campaign rallies and securing endorsements from pop culture behemoths, such as Joe Rogan. 

Rogan’s endorsement shortly followed an unprecedented interview with Trump on his record-breaking podcast. 

While speaking about Elon Musk, Rogan alleged “(Musk) makes what I think is the most compelling case for Trump you'll hear, and I agree with him every step of the way. For the record, yes, that's an endorsement of Trump.”

However, Trump’s recent popularity rise has been mirrored by Vice President Harris in other states. 

As reported by the Floridian’s Daniel Molina, Harris’ popularity seemingly increased in North Carolina and Georgia. 

In Georgia, Vice President Harris leads President Trump by 1 point (48%-47%). 

The state has been at the forefront of conversations regarding election integrity. Last month, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) attempted to quell concerns, touting paper ballots and the state's commitment to report quick tabulations.

Gabriel Sterling (R), a Republican chief operating officer for Secretary Raffensperger, echoed in his remarks while also questioning voters who doubt the electoral process. During an interview with 60 Minutes, Sterling commented that "voter suppression is fake. Voter fraud is fake. It's used to raise money and get you angry."
