The betting market PredictIt
on Tuesday morning showed virtually all shares predicting a Clinton
victory trending upwards -- meaning that bettors thought the chances of
her winning the White House had improved. Shares predicting a Trump
victory, by comparison, lost value overnight. Similarly, the betting site Hypermind showed Clinton’s likelihood of victory rising and Trump’s falling.
The well-regarded Predictwise
site, which synthesizes data from multiple betting markets and more,
registered one of the more dramatic shifts. Before the debate last
night, it had Clinton with a 69 percent to 31 percent advantage is the
race to win the White House. (That is measuring probability of an
Electoral College victory, not the popular vote.) By Tuesday morning the
divide had widened to 74-26 in Clinton’s favor.
That's a major pop aka "statistically significant"
