US Election Latest Odds: Trump win a 34% chance with one week to go
"Yesterday both candidates were in the battleground state of Pennsylvania where the Democrats are 1.51/2 and the Republicans 2.9215/8. In 2016, Trump took the state by 0.72%."
There is just one week to go before US Election day 2020 and, although the latest odds make Joe Biden firm favourite, Donald Trump will give it everything he's got, says Max Liu...
With one week of the campaign remaining the latest US election odds say that Donald Trump is heading for defeat unless he can pull off another remarkable turnaround.
The president is 2.982/1 on the Betfair Exchange and the prospect of him spending four more years in the White House looks increasingly unlikely.
His opponent Joe Biden is 1.51/2 to win and take up residence in the building where he previously spent eight years working as Barack Obama's vice president.
The story of the Trump presidency has enthralled and appalled the world for the best part of four years but, if the odds are correct, it is reaching its conclusion. The question is - could there be another twist?
After last time, when Trump pulled off an unlikely victory over Hillary Clinton, nobody on either side will take anything for granted.
For the bet of the day, Paul Krishnamurty discusses Biden's electoral college potential.
A candidate needs 270 electoral college votes to win the presidency and Paul, who points out that the latest polling looks bad for Trump, thinks 340 could be a realistic target for the challenger on 3 November.
Yesterday both candidates were in the battleground state of Pennsylvania where the Democrats are 1.51/2 and the Republicans 2.9215/8. In 2016, Trump took the state by 0.72%.
