The 2016 presidential election is approaching fast, which can be either good news or bad news, depending on how you feel about politics.   If you are someone who is enamored by the election cycle & enjoys the frenzy that comes with election night, you’ll want check out the entertainment odds at Bovada Sportsbook as well as the primary odds at 5Dimes.  Both books have a lot of different 2016 presidential election odds.  If you are someone who finds that politics give you a migraine and never seem to have any vested interest in election night, betting on political futures may be exactly what you need to make November 2nd a more tolerable (even exciting), day.  You can expect a lot of volatility in these odds as events unfold (or the candidates mouth’s open) over the course of the next 15 months.

As of the end of August, Hillary Clinton remains a big favorite in this upcoming election over Trump.  If you think Trump can change voters minds in the debates, now may be your time to place a bet on the Donald, where bookmakers are paying around 3 to 1 should he defeat Clinton in November.  The Libertarian nominee, Gary Johnson remains a massive underdog (280 to 1) at most sportsbooks despite the recent press he’s been getting.

There are some interesting state-by-state (Trump vs. Clinton) odds out there (see state by state odds below) that are worth taking a look at.  In the key battleground states of Florida & Ohio, Hilary Clinton remains overwhelming favorite.  Clinton is also a -160 favorite in the fairly conservative state of North Carolina.   In Indiana, the home state of Mike Pence (Trump’s VP pick), Hillary Clinton is currently a 5.5 to 1 underdog.  You can check the list below for all the state by state presidential election odds.
