Punters continue to rate Trump as having a near 50% chance of winning a second term

The polls, though, have the top 4 Democrats beating him
We’ve not looked at the main WH2020 market for some time – who’ll win the next hear’s White House race and as the chart shows what movement there’s been on the Betfair exchange has been towards the controversial incumbent.
At the moment, of course, the Democrats are maybe a year away from deciding who their nominee shall be and it is only when that becomes clear that we will get a greater take.
New NBC/WSJ polling has the following match ups:
Biden 51, Trump 42
Warren 48, Trump 43
Sanders 50, Trump 43
Harris 45, Trump 44
The interesting thing in the polling is the continued rise of Senator Elizabeth Warren who raised nearly $20m in the past quarter. It feels that there’s real momentum with her campaign.
In two weeks we’ll see the next TV debate where Biden has got to do substantially better than last time when he really did look his age.
I remain convinced that the 76 and 77 old Biden and Sanders won’t get the nomination and that their current polling positions are based on higher name recognition. Sanders has been hurt most by the rise of Warren.
In all of this the Democrats desperately want to stop a second Trump term and who is seen best able to achieve that will likely get the nomination.
