2020 US Presidential Election Odds: Donald Trump And Joe Biden Battle For Key States
2020 US Presidential Election Odds: Key States Betting Overview
Joe Biden’s the clear favorite in the 2020 US election odds market, and a key reason attributing to his marketing dominance is the likelihood he will flip a 2016 Donald Trump state. According to online sportsbooks, the Democrats now have a 87.7% chance of flipping a state won by the Republicans in 2016.
Despite Donald Trump making inroads in a few states won by Hillary Clinton, the odds imply he’s only got a 32.8% chance of flipping a Clinton state. We breakdown the percentages below, but Trump’s main chances lie in Nevada, New Hampshire and Minnesota.
As mentioned, Joe Biden tops the US Presidential election betting market, and Biden’s current odds imply he’s got a 66.7% chance of winning the November election.
Despite just over 52% of bookmakers on our UK site cutting the odds of Donald Trump winning the 2020 election in the last twenty-four hours, his odds still imply he’s only got a 34.8% chance of securing another term.
Even though Joe Biden’s odds showcase he’s the likely winner of the 2020 election, online bettors clearly disagree with the sportsbooks. We reported yesterday that Donald Trump accounted for more than double the bets for Joe Biden over the weekend, and this trend continued on Monday.
On Monday, just over 67% of bets placed on the 2020 election market were on Donald Trump winning, with just 29% being placed on Joe Biden.
