Trump is at 25% after the debate, after he defended his proposal to ban tavel by non-American Muslims to the United States and to deport all undocumented immigrants.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was the only other candidate to move in the market, dropping 1% from 4% odds at winning the GOP nomination to 3%. None of the other candidates saw movement on the market, including Jeb Bush, despite some strong moments.
