I think if one looks at the available data dispassionately - it is roughly 50-50 but Trump has the edge (although it has shrunk in recent weeks). And yes, there is still 6 months to go, and a lot could change between now and then. On the other hand, in a normal election, 6 months out, most voters don’t really know at least one, possibly both, of the candidates, and only start paying attention to them as Election Day draws nearer, which creates a lot of potential for movement in the polls as that happens. This time around, unusually, most people are already familiar with both candidates, which suggests the polls 6 months out may be more accurate than they normally are

This election will definitely be unusual, but I expect it will come down to the wire on Election Day again. The wild card this year is abortion, which drives huge turnout and makes people hold their noses to vote on both sides.
