The former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice-presidential candidate has been cut to 9/1 from 10/1 to become president in 2012.Rising Republican star Mitch Daniels has been cut to 16/1 (from 20/1), while John Boehner, who is expected to take over as House leader, is quoted at 25/1.The results are viewed as an appraisal of President Obama’s performance since he was elected on a platform of hope and change in 2008. Obama remains strong favourite to be re-elected, although his odds have drifted to even money from 10/11. Having lost control of the House of Representatives, Obama will have to contend with much greater opposition to push through legislation and may even face attempts to repeal his healthcare reform.Sky Bet spokeswoman Helen Jacob told Bettingpro earlier today; “The results have dealt Obama a grave blow and his popularity ratings are in freefall but past presidents have recovered from mid-term slumps and he remains short priced favourite to be re-elected.” Read our SkyBet review Get a £10 free bet (no deposit) plus £50 free (cash match) at Skybet Like Like Post to wall 702 Reads All Political Betting News Recent Political Betting Articles US Presidential Election Betting – Palin to make late stand?08 Mar 2012William Hill have reacted to speculation that Sarah Palin could be about to spoil Mitt Romney’s ele US Presidential Election Betting – Romney on track07 Mar 2012William Hill have again shortened the odds on Mitt Romney being the Republican representative for t Mitt Romney favourite to win several US primaries05 Mar 2012Mitt Romney is available at odds of 10/11 to claim six or more Super Tuesday states Mitt Romney to enjoy Super Tuesday primaries04 Mar 2012With the Republican presidential candidates gearing up for Super Tuesday, Paddy Power have installe US Presidential Election Betting – Obama odds shortened25 Feb 2012William Hill continue to make Barack Obama their favourite to win the 2012 US Presidential Election.
