Former President Donald Trump's betting lead over Vice President Kamala Harris nearly
collapsed in the final full week of the 2024 campaign.
Trump was favored at U.K. bookmaker Bet 365
standing at -188 a week ago whereas his odds as of the dawn of the Monday
before Election
Day stand at -138. Harris's odds shortened from +150 to +120 at the bookmaker.
The narrowest spread in the action, which
U.S. bookmakers cannot take part in, came from offshore bookmaker Bet Online,
which had Trump at +140 and Harris at -120.
The collapse comes as the impact of statement
made against Puerto Ricans by a speaker at Trump's campaign rally at Madison
Square Garden in New York landed in communities in swing states,
including in pivotal Pennsylvania.
The final week saw a poll released by the Des
Moines Register − a part of the USA TODAY Network − that showed
Harris ahead in Iowa, though within the poll's margin of error. The
poll was a head turner as the state had been considered a safe Trump stronghold.
“It’s hard for anybody to say they saw this
coming,” pollster J. Ann Selzer, president of Selzer & Co who conducted the
poll for The Register. "She has clearly leaped into a leading
position."

How accurate have election odds been in past
presidential elections?
The betting favorite has only lost twice since 1866,
according to the Conversation, a nonprofit news organization.
The most recent upset came in 2016 when then
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was favored
over Trump throughout the campaign, only to lose.
The other upset came in 1948, when Democrat
Harry Truman beat eight-to-one odds to defeat Republican Thomas Dewey.
