POLLING: Kamala Harris is seeing her worst performance of the campaign, with Polymarket betting odds showing her at just 38.6%, while Trump sits comfortably at 61.3%.

Delaware Online commented:
The gambling lines for the 2024 presidential election are swinging toward former President Donald Trump. Offshore bettors continue to drive up that probability because they predict Trump has a better chance of winning battleground states.
As of Thursday at 7 a.m. ET, Trump’s probability of winning topped 61% on Polymarket, a crypto trading platform, for the first time since President Joe Biden dropped out of the race. Betfair Exchange, the biggest U.K. peer-to-peer betting platform, predicted on its temperature gauge Thursday morning that Trump would likely win. Presidential election betting can’t be done legally in the U.S.
Newsweek also reported:
Donald Trump has surged ahead of Kamala Harris in the presidential race in almost all of the key battleground states, according to the latest betting odds from Polymarket.
With less than three weeks remaining until election day, Trump is now favored to win in every major swing state, marking a significant shift in momentum. Polymarket odds show Trump leading Harris nationally with a 60.3 percent chance of winning, compared to Harris’ 39.7 percent. The site is partially funded by Republican billionaire Peter Thiel, who introduced Trump to his running mate, J.D. Vance, in 2021.
In the seven battleground states, Trump’s odds are even more striking. As of Thursday, he holds a 68 percent chance of winning Arizona, 63 percent in North Carolina, and 65 percent in Georgia. In Pennsylvania, a pivotal state, Trump has a 59 percent chance of victory, while Harris lags at 41 percent. Michigan and Wisconsin show Trump leading by 12 percentage points in both, with odds of 56 percent to 44 percent in his favor. Nevada is the only state where the odds remain split evenly, with both candidates having a 50 percent chance of victory.
This is incredible. Historic, even.
All I can say is: follow the money.
