Harris sees betting odds shrink over Trump to razor-thin margin less than a month before the election

Kamala Harris has seen her betting odds shrink over Donald Trump to a razor-thin margin with less than a month to go before November’s election.

The vice president’s lead over the former president has significantly narrowed to a single point as bets surge in favor of Trump, according to the Election Betting Odds tracker.

Bookmakers now give Harris a 50.1 percent chance of winning the race for the White House, while Trump is close behind on 49.1 percent.

Last week, Harris was leading by 3.5 points.

The tracker works by consolidating betting numbers from five major markets – Betfair, Smarkets, PredictIt, Polymarket, and Kalshi.

Out of the five bookies, crypto-based betting platform Polymarket has given Trump’s odds of winning a boost, predicting he is now the slight favorite at 51.1 percent to Harris’s 48.3 percent.

The platform has also increased Trump’s odds of winning the key battleground state of Pennsylvania. Bookmakers give him a 55.5 percent chance of victory in the state compared to a 49 percent chance last week.

Other bookmakers give Harris a slight lead over Trump. On Kalshi, bookies put Harris ahead at 51 percent compared to Trump’s 49 percent. On PredictIt, the VP has 54 cents per share, which roughly equates to a 54 percent chance of winning, compared to 50 cents per share for Trump.

And, the British betting site Smarkets predicts Harris has a 50.5 percent chance of taking the White House compared to Trump, whose odds are 48 percent.
