2016 Election Odds

Let’s take a look at the odds on the potential 2016 presidential candidates.

Hillary Clinton:

“I’m not in any hurry. I think it’s a serious decision, not to be made lightly, but it’s also not one that has to be made soon.”

I do find it rather odd that she won’t come out and make a decision as to whether or not she will run. I think she would get the democrats top support if she did go that route, but that remains to be seen. I think the longer she waits the less support she will have come election time so she better hurry.

Clinton odds of election: 20%

Chris Christie:

I like his stance on reducing dangerous crime (gangs, sex/arms trafficking), definitely important. I also like his push to reduce the budget, which should be the biggest push going forward.

Christie odds: 15%

Marco Rubio:

Rubio odds: 9%

Andrew Cuomo:

I think Cuomo would be a great pick for office. He is a good age to get a solid marketing campaign behind him and I definitely support a lot of his policies. Policy choice is always debatable depending on your ethics, but one thing I do support was his strong push for a balanced budget it New York. 

Cuomo odds: 6%

Joe Biden:

Biden odds: 5%

Averell Luedecker:

Luedecker odds: 1%

Well, maybe in 2020?

Let me know if I missed anyone, but these are the candidates I think have the best chance in 2016.
