In a few hours, US election results will start to roll in, and while Britons this side of the pond have no say on the outcome they’ve been keen to give their opinions to prowling pollsters. New YouGov polling of 6,520 UK adults has revealed that almost four in ten Brits expect Kamala Harris to emerge victorious in this year’s election – regardless of who they would personally prefer to win.
The survey shows that 38 per cent of participants are predicting a Harris victory while just under a third of Brits (31 per cent) think Donald Trump will be elected president a second time. Not that the gamblers quite agree – as Steerpike’s friends in the Speccies’ data dungeon pointed out earlier, with money pouring in behind The Donald. In fact, the former president’s chances of return to the White House in January remain over 60 per cent, according to an analysis of implied probabilities.
