Trump’s nomination odds sink as Cruz surges

By Around the Web

(CNN) A strong Super Saturday performance has given Ted Cruz a big boost in CNN’s Political Prediction Market, while Donald Trump has seen his odds of claiming the Republican nomination drop 15% in less than 24 hours.

Powered by a combination of polling and forecasts from more than 100,000 users, the live probabilities generated by Pivit now have the brash billionaire at 63% to win the GOP nod — down from 78% before polls opened.

Cruz, who scored strong wins in the Kansas and Maine caucuses, has been the beneficiary of Trump’s woes, gaining 15% from Saturday morning to put him at 25% odds to earn the nomination.
