I took their odds of election of president divided by their odds of getting a major party nomination to measure the electability of each candidate or the chance they would be elected if nominated. Given some of Trump's statements on immigration, this may be setting to rest the myth that opposition to immigration is the third rail of American politics.
Candidate | Presidential odds % | Nomination odds % | Electability % |
Biden | 7 | 12 | 58.3 |
Bush | 17 | 38 | 45.9 |
Clinton | 41 | 71 | 57.7 |
Kasich | 3 | 7 | 42.8 |
Rubio | 6.5 | 14 | 46.4 |
Sanders | 6 | 13 | 46.1 |
Trump | 8 | 14 | 57.1 |
Walker | 3 | 9 | 33.3 |
