–McAuliffe’s Odds Worsen as Youngkin Improves–

Terry McAuliffe’s odds to win 2021 Virginia Gubernatorial Election have worsened since last week, according to betting aggregators US-Bookies (See Disclaimer Below). His odds to win the election have shifted from 2/7 (77.8% implied probability) to 2/5 (71.4%) since October 4. Glenn Youngkin’s have improved from 16/5 (23.8%) to 2/1 (33.3%) in the same timeframe.

“Following the candidates’ latest debate, McAuliffe widened his lead over Youngkin, but that trend appears to have reversed now,” says a US-Bookies spokesperson. “This means the Republican is building some momentum heading into the final weeks of the campaign trail.”

In the days following the latest debate, Youngkin’s odds worsened from 3/1 (25% implied probability) to 16/5 (23.8%). At the same time, McAuliffe improved from 3/10 (76.9%) to 2/7 (77.8%). However, both candidates’ odds have shifted in the opposite directions since then, with McAuliffe worseneing to 2/5 (71.4%) and Youngkin improving to 2/1 (33.3%).

“Betting odds recently predicted the California governor recall more accurately than the polls, showing Gavin Newsom as more likely to survive the effort than what polling data indicated,” says a US-Bookies spokesperson. “At this point, betting odds are still more confident in a McAuliffe win than the polls are showing, but the odds also point to that gap closing up.”

According to a recent Monmouth University poll, McAuliffe holds a 48% to 43% lead over Youngkin. However, betting odds show that McAuliffe has a much stronger 71.4% to 33.3% lead.
