Yeah bookies odds tend to be one of the best indicators of election outcomes, I think because they have money on the line.
Some were only giving 2:1 odds the other day after the Trump/Putin meeting for Trump impeachment, make of that what you will.

Interesting.
My brother was telling me actually that one of his mates made a good bit of money out of Trump because when he announced his candidacy he popped on a bet he would win, just for a laugh.
All Progressive Liberals are emotionally unstable nuts to varying degrees.
Here are 10 warning signs of a potentially unsafe group or leader.
• Absolute authoritarianism without meaningful accountability.
• No tolerance for questions or critical inquiry.
• No meaningful financial disclosure regarding budget or expenses, such as an independently audited financial statement.
• Unreasonable fear about the outside world, such as impending catastrophe, evil conspiracies and persecutions. •
There is no legitimate reason to leave, former followers are always wrong in leaving, negative or even evil.
• Former members often relate the same stories of abuse and reflect a similar pattern of grievances.
• There are records, books, news articles, or broadcast reports that document the abuses of the group/leader.
• Followers feel they can never be "good enough".
• The group/leader is always right.
• The group/leader is the exclusive means of knowing "truth" or receiving validation, no other process of discovery is really acceptable or credible.
I'm old enough and have experienced more reality in my 67 years than 90% of the souls on this site.
Have you ever spent 2 of the coldest winters on record for a period of time in an old house built in 1905 that had no running water or heat and the north wind whistles through the wall like they weren't even there.
I have. Have you ever hand dug a 36 inch diameter well 27 feet deep without tile lining just to get water in that house?
Have you ever worked in an environment so hot that you burn your arms if they touch anything metal? I have
Don't preach reality to me. I have lived it. I resent the pansy asses that think they know reality but the worst thing in their lives is when their computer game crashes. Today's newer generations don't know sheat about reality.

Again I am not talking about Obamas polls I am talking about Trumps not a comparison between the two.
All I will say is that overall when you compare how Obama's poles and Trumps polls were running, they seem to indicate that Obama was only slightly ahead. Although he did spend some time up in the 60%' range, Trump is really struggled to even break 50% yet.
Although like I keep saying thats just one indicator of his popularity.
