Daily win probabilities for the 2016 U.S. presidential election candidates, derived from betting quotes, from 2016-03-10 to 2016-11-09 (237 calendar days including weekends). Candidate columns are probabilities on the 0-1 scale; they need not sum to one across candidates (they are raw one-sided quotes). The Trump series is the one used in the accompanying working paper.
