The battle between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders has gotten increasingly nasty. Sanders recently did very well in Iowa and scored a big victory in New Hampshire, which helped to propel his numbers higher nationwide. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, however, is still far ahead of Sanders, as she is a 1/4 favorite to win the Democratic nomination.

On the Republican side, Donald Trump, fresh off of a victory in New Hampshire, currently has the best odds to win the GOP nomination, as Paddy Power has him listed at 6/5.

Marco Rubio, who seemed to be gaining some momentum after the Iowa caucuses, is listed at 3/1 to win the Republican nomination, while Jeb Bush (5/1), Ted Cruz (5/1) and John Kasich (20/1) sit further back.

There is still a possibility of Michael Bloomberg entering the race as an Independent at some point, though this is still seen as a long shot. According to reports, Bloomberg is waiting to see who wins the Democratic and Republican nominations before deciding whether or not he will jump into the race. Bloomberg is one of the few people in the country who has the funds and name recognition needed in order to make a big splash in the race.
