Texas Election Prediction & Forecast

  • 538: Trump +7.6%, Trump 93% to win
  • Split Ticket: Trump +6.8, Trump 83% to win
  • 24cast: Trump +6.4%, Trump 90% to win

Texas’ region and demographic makeup make it so that it doesn’t really feel the impact of the Selzer poll.

Thus, Texas mainly only comes into play as part of a larger polling environment miss, but that’s already baked into the odds here.

Verdict: Pass

Election Odds in Other Key States

  • Arizona: Trump entered Election Day as about a 2-1 favorite, but is that price too steep? Early voting data and district level polling is suggesting statewide and national polling is more likely underestimating Harris in this cycle.
  • FloridaTrump is a huge favorite in the Sunshine State, and a Harris win would be the result of a major polling miss nationally.
  • GeorgiaThere's a lot to still be decided in Georgia, a red state shifting blue over the last eight years, with turnout in both red and blue counties already up from 2020 in early voting.
  • IowaTrump dropped from a massive favorite to a slightly less massive favorite over the weekend thanks to some prominent pollsters releasing their data. There's still some betting value on the board, but you may have to lay a steep price.
  • Michigan: Joe Biden took Michigan in 2020 and Harris seems poised for another victory here as a slight favorite entering the day.
  • NevadaMail-in ballots in Clark County (where Las Vegas is located) will play a huge role in NV — is it enough to give the edge to Harris, who is a small underdog entering Tuesday?
  • New HampshireHarris is a big favorite here, but in the event of a broad polling miss, there's some betting value on a prop here.
  • North Carolina: Trump is favored in the Tar Heel State, but should he be? This race will likely come down to which side goes to the independent voters.
  • OhioTrump is a massive favorite in Ohio, which has gone red the last two elections after going blue for Barack Obama the previous two.
  • PennsylvaniaThe most important state in the election, PA is close to 50/50 entering Election Day.
  • WisconsinJoe Biden won Wisconsin in 2020 by just more than 20,000 votes, and WI is setting up for another razor-thin race in 2024.
