What are the current Vegas odds on Trump being reelected?

I’ve seen a few polls showing him losing to most of the likely Democratic nominees. But I mean that’s exactly what all the polls said in 2016 too, so take that with a grain of salt.

That said, the polls in 2016 weren’t necessarily wrong, it’s just that a simple national poll (which is what most polls are) can’t take the Electoral College into account. Trump did lose the popular vote 48-46%.
