- Kamala Harris continues to be slightly ahead of Donald Trump in the polls
- However, on Polymarket, Trump’s chances have increased and he is significantly ahead of Harris
- Specifically, Trump’s odds compared to Harris’s are estimated at 57.9% and 41.8% respectively
- Total bets on the winner of the election exceeded $1.92 on Polymarket
It came as a surprise to many as Kamala Harris was gaining more and more chances of winning as the polls showed.
Especially after Donald Trump’s not the best showing in the debates, Kamala Harris has pulled even further ahead.
However, Trump remains persistent, especially reaching out strongly to the crypto community electorate with his pro-crypto initiatives.
Now, we see Donald Trump significantly ahead of Kamala Harris in his chances of winning the US election 2024 on Polymarket, with 57.9% and 41.8%, respectively.
Details on the Trump-Harris Competition
We are seeing the election coming to its culmination, and the candidates are fighting for every percentage point, as polls show them coming very close.
Specifically, national polls show Kamala Harris versus Donald Trump with 48.5% vs. 46.1%, and right now the swing states will decide the most.
However, Polymarket data shows a very different ratio, namely Trump has 57.9% and Kamala Harris has 41.8%, but we must realize that this is not a total sample since not every American participates on the platform.
Nevertheless, it is valuable data, because a significant part of Polymarket users are crypto enthusiasts and investors, which can show us the preferences of the crypto community.
While Donald Trump continues to actively reach out to the crypto industry, and make proactive initiatives with his World Liberty Financial, Kamala Harris is more careful in her moves towards crypto.
Conclusion
Obviously, there are arguments to call this the first crypto election, as the crypto industry and crypto community are some of the key points of discussion and rivalry.
However, both candidates may also receive doubts from the crypto community, Donald Trump for making too loud statements not all of which may turn out to be true, and Kamala Harris for not having enough clear initiatives and demonstrating a pro-crypto stance.
We only have a short time left to find out actual results and see the real initiatives. Stay tuned.
