Despite her recent complications and the bookmakers lengthening her legs slightly on the back of Sanders good run of form, the fact remains that Hillary is still the significant favorite for the White House in November. Right now you will find Hillary trading at around 2/5 margin to be elected the next president of the United States.
Donald Trump's odds have dropped significantly, he was once trading at a 9 / 2 margin but now finds himself as short as a 2 / one shot to be elected the next president of the United States. He would be the first president since Dwight Eisenhower in the 1950s to move into the White House without having a prior experience in public office.
Recent polls have shown Donald Trump pulling even, or almost even, with Hillary Clinton in a number of key swing States including Pennsylvania, Florida and Ohio. with Trump polling within the margin of error in several of those States - and actually pulling ahead of Hillary in the key state of Ohio - it looks like many left-leaning media observers were wrong to assume that Trump held little appeal outside of his base of support.
While several other contenders are still in the mix for the White House there I'd have gotten increasingly long as the possibility of any other GOP members being able to take the nomination from Trump has begun to fade away. Bernie Sanders can be back at a 22 / 1 margin with several major bookmakers to be elected the next president. Joe Biden is also in the mix but will likely only become involved if Hillary is indicted based on her email Scandal - the vice president can be back at a 66 last 1 margin to be the next president of the United States.
House Speaker Paul Ryan has had several disagreements with Donald Trump recently and can be back at a 200 / 1 margin to be the next president while Mitt Romney, who has publicly made Whispers of a third-party candidacy that appears increasingly unlikely as the days go by, is available at a 300 / 1 margin to be elected to the White House this November.
