U will need to offer better odds imo
This is historically the worst polling of an incumbent in American history
And Trump is a historically flawed challenger.
Also, polling can be misleading because it doesn't tell you where a politician is losing support. In the case of Biden, his polling is skewed downward by the effect of the Gaza war and the deep dissatisfaction that core Demcoratic constituencies like Muslims or young progressives feel because of it. Even without this factor, Biden's polling would still be in the mud and one of the worst in history at this point in the respective presidency, don't get me wrong. Still, there is reason to assume that these groups will come around in the end and vote for Biden. They just need to be reminded that Trump was the most pro-Israel president in US history and generally has little love lost for Muslims. That alone won't rescue Biden, but an improving economy would surely help his foturtunes.
And Democrats haven't even begun carpet bombing the airwaves with anti-Trump ads, reminding voters why they hated Trump, reminding them with visceral imagery of how ugly Jan 6 was, reminding them of his handling of classified documents, his flattery of Putin, and so on.
Long story short, 1:1 odds are imho totally fair. Biden vs Trump in 2024 is a race to the fucking bottom, and a total crapshoot in terms of betting.
