According to the mathematicians at fivethirtyeight.com, Democrat Joe Biden is slightly favored to defeat President Donald Trump in November.

In 40,000 simulations based on current polling run by fivethirtyeight.com, Biden wins 69% of the time.

However, as of today, November’s outcome hinges on what happens in nine states where Trump and Biden are waging highly competitive races.

Six of the nine are traditional battleground states: Florida, Iowa, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennslyvania, and Wisconsin.

The other three up for grabs are Arizona, Georgia, and Minnesota.
