I don’t put a ton of stock in polls, but the betting markets are a different animal IMO. Harris has now moved to the favorite across the board. Here’s to hoping it’s just a honeymoon phase…

Democrats mismanage money.

Oddsmakers know there will be fraudulent activity and that favors the DEMS!

Go back to your handlers…

I had the same exchange with a friend yesterday. He was freaking out about the odds. I said that I absolutely believe the polls are skewed now and will reflect reality closer to the election, but that I would have thought betting markets would sniff out the BS.

Makes zero sense. She is objectively horrible and has zero no platform and is currently trying to switch every stance she has ever had.

Money can influence betting lines quicker and more effectively than polling. It's also not subject to any FEC restrictions/caps or oversight.
This is the Dem leaning dark money trying to create an air of inevitability.

If true? If really true then Trump really only was acceptable to 40 something% of the population.
And we will find out.
Trump needs to work hard. Harris hasn't.

Trump has the strongest 40% base of all time, and he can’t get out of his own way with the 10-12% that matters.

WTF is going on is that Trump is a historically unpopular candidate who is about to lose the popular vote for the third time. This was masked when the opposition was a dementia patient, but now it’s a vibrant, smiling, positive candidate.
Maybe Trump can force Kamala into extemporaneous speaking, and maybe she turns out to be as incompetent as we hope, but if not, Trump will be slaughtered in the popular vote, and he will have to hope for a narrow electoral victory.
ETA: What TrueTiger says in the post just above is 100% correct.

Harris won’t have to, she has the media doing everything for her

I'd be a LOT of money he won't get 50% of the popular vote in November, win or lose.

You would actually put money on a bet that the Democrats aren’t going steal this election? You could just give it to me instead…I’ll buy you a drink at least.

It's a broken record but we can't underestimate the dirty, sinister, unAmerican effect of a corrupt media protected by the First Amendment.

I wouldn't call that a comfortable betting favorite but:
Relief wave among dems and left of center independents from Biden not being the nominee
RFK fading
Media propping her up and creating the perception of hype, which can lead to actual hype among sheep
Massive financial resources from fundraising over past few weeks
Trump barely laying a glove on her at all and letting her be redefined by the dem machine and media, unscathed
Trump kicking back after the convention and playing golf 5x a week, not rallying or doing events in swing states

A democracy is only as good as the people voting and you get the government you deserve in a democracy?

The collective media controls it all.
Biden was unassailable for years, then on a dime 2-3 weeks of “he must go.”
He’s now gone and Kamala is benefiting from the same power, only positive kid glove treatment.
Reality at the polls in November? Who knows
