The pollsters don't agree with the bookmakers.
While the polls show the presidential race as more of a tossup, betting firms have been moving Donald Trump to more and more of a favorite over the past 18 days.
BetOnline.ag has Trump priced with -200 odds to take the election, which equates to an implied probability of about 65%. Those are his lowest odds since July 14, the day after the assassination attempt when his chances moved to -300.
The popular vote odds have been incredibly head-scratching. It's been a long time since a Republican candidate won the popular vote, but the current projections suggest it isn't a foregone conclusion.
"We just continue to see money coming in for Trump to win the pop vote," BetOnline.ag political analyst Paul Krishnamurty said. "We're not saying these are the true or accurate odds, but because of the support Trump is receiving we have to continue to lower the Democratic price. We'll incur a significant loss if Trump somehow pulls off the upset, so we're trying to attract Harris money."
