Donald Trump
The former President has surged on Election Day.

So much for polls when you can follow the money.

Four of the leading Presidential Election prediction markets are bullish to varying degrees on Donald Trump as the 2024 cycle comes to a close, as they fade Democrat Kamala Harris.

The IBKR Forecast Trader market shows a “Yes” share valued at 68 cents, up 11 cents on the day.

Trump “Yes” shares were as low as 52 cents in the last week, but the investors have rediscovered confidence in the former President.

In contrast, a Kamala Harris “Yes” share is 37 cents at this writing for an overall win. That had been as high as 54 cents over the weekend.

The Kalshi market showed Harris having closed the gap with Trump on Saturday, even taking a lead in the 10 p.m. hour, but the former President is now the favorite. A “Yes” share for his win is priced at 65 cents at this writing.

Polymarket showed Harris having evened the gap with Trump early last month, but now a “Yes” share for Trump’s victory is priced at nearly 8 cents.

Harris held leads in August and October, but the money has trended Trump since.

PredictIt has also moved toward Trump, after a Harris lean. A “Yes” share is 61 cents for him, while the same is priced at 42 cents for her.

The ultimate winner of the election likely won’t be known for days to come, but investors think they have it figured out.

      He didn’t bash Hispanics. A comedian that none of us ever heard of cracked a poor joke about Puerto Rico, again not all Hispanics. Now Biden comes out right after that and calls roughly 50% of the population in the United States of America garbage. Question? Is Kammy still saying that Joe is sharp, focused, energized, etc?

        He joked about “LATINOS”: sexual behavior, birth control, immigration.

        Big difference between Biden’s gaffe and Trump’s statements about “vermin”, “enemy of the people”, “garbage”, childless cat lady”, “poisoning the blood”, “rapists”, “eating pets”,…etc. Biden clarifies gaffes. Trump campaigns on hate speech and insults. Most people intuitively understand this.

          So you are telling me that people will vote on sensitivity issues and not the economy, borders, world chaos and such? Call me an old white cracker, I don’t care. The little stuff doesn’t matte. Sticks and Stones. , it’s the big stuff like I mentioned above.

    I’m nauseously optimistic that he’ll lose, hopefully in a landslide that he can’t lie his way out of.

      There will be no landslide. Both sides are optimistic on victory. Who knows?

          Well gasoline was much cheaper. Buying groceries and other commodities were much cheaper. The world was at peace and our borders were secure.

            And MAGA true believers were disproportionately dying from Covid due to MAGA quackery.

            When did you get your vaccination?

            MH. I’m typically not one that goes to the doctor or gets vaccinations. Not a religious or conspiracy thing, I just don’t go. Now my profession required a Covid vaccination. No shot, no worky. I also took a leave of absence during that period and did lots of travel which also required the Fauci jab. I got the single shot J & J.

    And big time investors make up what percentage of the population?
    The things that REALLY matter- reproductive rights, peaceful transition of power, a country that includes everyone- these are the issues that will sway the election

      Yes, the billionaire tax-cut crowd like Musk and Thiel expect their payback. But don’t think they have the interest of everyday Americans at heart. They could care less. Both of them only care about their money and think they alone can fix it. That’s how oligarchs roll.

    “I feel it coming; I feel it coming, Babe”
    America will reject Trump’s brand of racism, misogyny, and hatred. It’s the year of the Woman and we will save the Democracy, whether it likes it, or not!
