Meanwhile over the weekend , Trump’s chances of winning on the platform decreased to about 57.7%. Harris’s prospects, on the other hand, rose from 33% to 42.3%.
This change came after a recent poll by Ann Selzer of the Des Moines Register in Lowa revealed that, despite Trump’s victories in the state in both 2016 and 2020, Harris was ahead of Trump by three points.
The difference between Trump and Harris has also decreased on Kalshi, another prediction site. Trump currently has a 54% chance, while Harris is not far behind at 46%. Compared to earlier in the week, when Trump had a significantly greater lead of 65% to 35%, this represents a significant shift.
