I'll be pleasantly surprised if Trump isn't POTUS again.
sorry interjecting, it's an interesting question about the differences between betting and polls. Heard some discussion on NPR, I think, about how polls reflect who the respondents want to win, and betting who they think will win. [eta. and the kind of people who actively make bets vs those who pick up the phone for polls]

That said, and I'm no gambling man so don't pretend to understand all this, but they were also talking about very large bets made by some MAGA billionaire, not Musk, in a seeming attempt to make the odds make Trump look better. Is that a thing, and would it make a difference?
