TV Ratings Back Harris, Betting Market Boosts Trump

The 2024 U.S. presidential election is witnessing a fascinating split between media visibility and betting markets. Kamala Harris has been performing well in TV appearances and debates, consistently drawing high ratings. Her policies on equity, healthcare, and climate change resonate with many viewers, boosting her media presence. However, despite this visibility, Donald Trump has surged ahead in betting markets. Platforms like Polymarket currently give Trump a 57.9% chance of victory compared to Harris' 41.9%. This divergence is likely due to a combination of internal polling, concerns about the country's direction, and Trump's continued appeal to his core base, especially in swing states
