Weird the names didn’t come through... Clinton and Trump betting odds in 2016.

That’s current, mine was 2016
I know. I just thought it an interesting contrast.

I know a lot of lefties that are crowing and bragging about the polls, and I am just shaking my head...

That's what I was talking about earlier, hubris. I honestly think they cannot conceive that Trump could possibly win.

These aren't actually polls you're linking to, they're betting odds.
I'm a lefty and all, and I for one still think that Trump is going to win.

betting odds can be assumed to be better predictors than polls.

Based on what?
Last election's odds weren't exactly accurate.

based on money mattering to people, and words not.

The odds are based on how people who gamble are betting, so it's a sub-section of the population not chosen at random, and including a lot of people who probably aren't eligible to vote.
Also, 2016's numbers were complete bollocks.

Of course people are betting that 2016 will repeat. One would have to assume that there were no lessons learned from what was missed last time.
