Jeb Bush, listed at odds of 11-to-8, still leads the field of 16 major candidates who have declared their intention to run. Following Bush are Marco Rubio and Scott Walker, each offered at 7-to-2 at William Hill.
Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, appears to have an easy path to the Democratic nomination, listed as the prohibitive 1-to-6 favorite, according to a consensus of offshore bookmakers. Bernie Sanders, at 8-to-1 odds, figures to be Clinton’s closest competitor.
William Hill offers Clinton at even-money to go on to win the White House in 2016, and the Dems are the 8-to-11 favorites to be the winning party, with the GOP offered at 11-to-10 odds.
