We’re just two weeks away from Election Day, and the race is tighter than ever. For weeks now, it’s been tough to tell who’s leading between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. They’ve been running neck and neck, with no clear frontrunner emerging—at least, not until now.
When we take a closer look at election betting odds, the picture becomes much clearer. One candidate is now pulling ahead as the odds-on favorite, and this race is quickly becoming his to lose.
Over the past several weeks, Donald Trump has gained significant ground in the betting markets. This surge in the odds suggests that Trump is poised to take the win as Election Day approaches.
Fox News recently reported on these developments:
“More than two billion dollars have been bet on the election already,” Maxim Lott, the operator of ElectionBettingOdds.com, shared with Fox News Digital.
Lott’s website pulls data from five major betting platforms to provide a betting average, and the numbers are telling. As of Monday, Trump holds a 58.5% chance of winning, according to the betting averages. Similarly, RealClearPolitics’ betting average reflects Trump as the favorite, with a 59% chance of victory.
What’s truly notable here is how quickly the tide has turned. As recently as October 4th, Kamala Harris was leading in the betting markets, but Trump quickly took the lead the very next day. Since then, he hasn’t just maintained his lead—he’s extended it, now boasting nearly a 20 percentage-point advantage.
For Harris and her supporters, this shift in momentum is nothing short of a disaster.
Betting Odds vs. Polls: Which Is More Accurate?
Lott also weighed in on why betting odds might actually be a better predictor of election outcomes than traditional polling methods.
“These betting averages are incredibly accurate,” he explained, adding that they’re “more reliable than trying to interpret polls, or even worse, listening to pundits pontificate on the airwaves.”
Bettors, he pointed out, are using every bit of data they can get their hands on. They study historical trends, analyze economic indicators, and look at how events unfold in real-time. “I find the betting percentage much more useful than the polls,” Lott said.
This should come as no surprise to anyone who’s been paying attention. The mainstream media and Democrat elites have spent months pushing the narrative that Kamala Harris is a strong contender for the presidency. But when you look past their spin, the numbers tell a different story.
For many Americans, it’s hard to overlook just how tough the past four years have been under the Biden-Harris administration. The economy has taken a nosedive, inflation is through the roof, and millions of illegal immigrants continue to pour across our borders. Meanwhile, everyday Americans are struggling just to make ends meet, with many finding it hard to keep food on the table.
When you compare the state of the nation now to what it was during Trump’s presidency, the difference is night and day. Under Trump, the economy was booming, unemployment was at historic lows, and America felt stronger, safer, and more secure.
If Trump wins this election, there’s little doubt that he’ll hit the ground running to tackle the issues that matter most to Americans—fixing the economy, securing our borders, and restoring law and order. On the other hand, if Harris wins, we can expect more of the same disastrous policies that have put our nation in such a precarious position.
As we move into the final stretch of this election, the stakes couldn’t be higher. America is at a crossroads, and the decision voters make will shape the future of our country for years to come.
With the betting odds now clearly favoring Trump, we can only hope that this is a sign of what’s to come on Election Day. America needs strong leadership, and Donald Trump has proven time and again that he’s the man for the job. Let’s hope the odds are right, and come Election Day, we’ll see the return of Trump’s America!
