If you think Carly Fiorina will win the GOP nomination for the 2016 U.S. Presidential candidate, now is the time to place that future wager. That’s because her odds have dropped from 12-1 and 10-1 and are expected to continue being slashed.
“It is recommended to lock in the current odds now,” says Payton O’Brien of Gambling911.com. “We expect her odds to be slashed in half by next week.”
That’s because Fiorina has made major headway since her highly lauded debate performance Wednesday, now passing Ben Carson in the polls.
The survey, conducted in the three days after 23 million people tuned in to Wednesday night's GOP debate on CNN, has Fiorina rising to 15% support, up from 3% in early September. Carson was coming in at 14%.
Real estate developer Donald Trump still led by quite a bit at 24% in most polls but he has also witnessed an 8% decrease since earlier this month.
Driving Trump's drop and Fiorina's rise: a debate in which 31% of Republicans who watched said Trump was the loser, and 52% identified Fiorina as the winner, according to CNN.
None of the three leading in the current polls have ever held public office.
