–Dems’ Midterm Odds Improve While Presidential Odds Remain Unchanged–

The Democrats’ odds to win majority control of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate have improved slightly since the end of February, according to betting aggregators US-Bookies.com (See Disclaimer Below). Over the past two weeks, Democrats’ odds of winning the Senate improved from 13/2 (13.3% implied probability) to 3/1 (25%), and their odds to win the House also improved from 11/2 (15.4%) to 9/2 (18.2%).  

Republicans’ odds to win majority control of the U.S. Senate improved from 4/11 (73.3% implied probability) to 1/3 (75%) since February 28. The GOP’s odds to win the House of Representatives also improved from 2/13 (86.7%) to 1/7 (87.5%). 

“Since the start of Joe Biden’s presidential term, Democrats’ midterm odds have been worsening, but the trend has reversed in the weeks following the Ukraine invasion and Biden’s State of the Union,” says a US-Bookies spokesperson. “While the Republicans’ odds also improved since the end of last month, Democrats’ shifts were more noticeable.”

Joe Biden’s odds to win the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election and the Democratic Nomination have not changed since February. His odds to be re-elected remain at 5/1 (16.7% implied probability), and he’s still the 2/1 favorite to be the Democratic nominee (33.3%). Similarly, Donald Trump is still the favorite to win the 2024 election, as his odds haven’t changed from 11/4 (26.7% implied probability). Trump is also the 1/1 favorite to be the Republican nominee (50%).

“The combination of improving Midterm odds and unchanged presidential odds should be a good sign for Democrats, as they’ve been battling negatively trending polls since the start of Biden’s term,” says a US-Bookies spokesperson. “Democrats still have a long way to go to catch up with the GOP, but these recent shifts indicate that the negative momentum has at least stopped for now.”

–GOP Candidates’ Odds Strengthen as Democrats’ Weaken–

Donald Trump’s odds to be the Republican nominee and win the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election have improved since the end of January, according to betting aggregators US-Bookies.com (See Disclaimer Below). Trump’s odds to win the Republican nomination shifted from 6/5 (45.5% implied probability) to 1/1 (50%), while his odds to win the 2024 election also strengthened from 3/1 (25%) to 11/4 (26.7%). He’s still the favorite in both markets. 

Ron DeSantis also noticed favorable movements in both betting markets. His odds to be the Republican nominee improved from 9/2 (18.2% implied probability) to 7/2 (22.2%). DeSantis also improved from 7/1 (12.5%) to 6/1 (14.3%) to win the 2024 election, where he’s overtaken Kamala Harris. The current vice president’s odds to win the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election worsened from 7/1 (12.5%) to 8/1 (11.1%)

“A recent CPAC straw poll emphasized Republican support for Donald Trump, which the odds have been showing for some time, as he’s been at the top of bookies’ lists for months,” says a US-Bookies spokesperson. “Also spelling good news for the GOP is that the past few months haven’t been helping the current administration’s odds, as Joe Biden’s and Kamala Harris’ continue to get worse.” 

Joe Biden’s odds to win the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election have weakened from 9/2 (18.2% implied probability) to 5/1 (16.7%) since the end of January. His odds to be the Democratic nominee have remained at 2/1 (33.3%), where he’s still the favorite. Harris’ odds to win the nomination worsened from 2/1 (33.3%) to 3/1 (25%). 

“Recent events present opportunities for Biden to gather some much-needed public support, as the odds continue show a Republican lead over the Democrats in the presidential markets,” says a US-Bookies spokesperson. “Midterm odds are forecasting similar results, as the GOP are odds-on favorites to win control of the House and Senate, as well.”

Republicans have 4/11 odds to win majority control of the U.S. Senate (73.3% implied probability), as well as 2/13 odds to win the House of Representatives (86.7%). Democrats have 13/2 odds to win the Senate (13.3%), and 11/2 odds to win the House (15.4%).

–Trump, DeSantis Improve in Presidential Odds Markets while Biden, Harris Worsen–

“A few days after the scenes at the Capitol, Donald Trump’s odds to win the 2024 election were noticeably worse than Joe Biden’s and Kamala Harris’, but that has since changed after the administration’s first year in office,”  says a US-Bookies spokesperson. “Since Biden and Harris were inaugurated, Trump surpassed both in the betting markets to become the sole favorite to win in 2024.”
