Sportsbooks Predict Biden Ratings To Improve After SOTU Address

America appears to be warming up to President Joe Biden.

President Biden saw some positive action in the polls today, presumably in reaction to his handling of “Balloon-Gate.”

The top online sportsbooks are predicting that President Biden will see another ratings improvement following Tuesday night’s State of the Union address.

BetOnline, one of the best sites for betting on politics, has released odds ahead of the State of the Union address.

Bettors can find a wide variety of different betting markets for the SOTU. BetOnline is offering odds on a number of State of the Union props, including the length of the SOTU, keywords said, Sarah Huckabee’s GOP rebuttal, Kevin McCarthy’s temperament and more.

The State of the Union comes at a pivotal time in Biden’s presidency. He will be under pressure to address the Chinese spy balloon that was recently shot down by the US military.

President Biden is also expected to announce a bid for re-election next year, making this particular speech one of the most highly anticipated State of the Union addresses in recent memory.
