Jeb Bush projected a greater sense of confidence at the Fox Business Network Republican debate, but the former Florida governor’s performance was not enough to bolster his support, according to CNN’s Political Prediction Market, a game that invites users to test their political foresight.
Before the Republican debate, Bush’s odds to capture the Republican nomination were at 9% but fell to 7% by the end of the night. And, the odds of him suspending his campaign by January 1 are up by 13 points from 38% before the debate to 51%.
Bush, who jumped into the race at the top of the pack, had previously held the top spot with 25% odds of securing the nomination following CNN’s Republican debate in September.
CNN’s Political Prediction Market, however, is not a poll asking who a likely voter supports. It is a live online prediction game administered by a company called Pivit. It considers polls and other factors, including input from online players about who they think will actually win.
