The Candidates' Market Report
It's been quite a week in the polling and betting markets, especially with regards to the presidential race; nearly all the action is being shaped by COVID-19 and the political response. President Trump has taken a heavy hit according to the latest Rasmussen surveys, but other pollsters are not so negative. The president's handling of the Coronavirus crisis gave him a clear bump across the board last week that is still in play, although CNN predicts this boost has reached a plateau. Heading into the Easter weekend, if the daily death totals start to go down (which they have been doing both in the U.S. and worldwide over the last three days), it will be difficult for the media to put a negative spin on the government's actions to date. We can expect the next week's approval average to mirror deaths inversely. The Democrats are facing a major crisis. Having postponed the National Convention until August, almost all primaries have been kicked into the long grass, and questions are being asked about the legitimacy of their eventual nominee. It seems almost certain that former VP Joe Biden will receive the crown, but what impact will this anointment have on the Bernie Bros who may feel they have been robbed of their candidate yet again?This Week’s Major Players
