Way too early to predict, and all these polls eighteen months out are inanity, but it is very easy to see Trump winning again in 2020, he has several key advantages any Democrat lacks
First, he is the incumbent, and outside of HW and Ford, when was the last time an incumbent lost? Even as unpopular as Truman was at the time he won reelection
Second, the electoral college makes it easier for him, it all comes down to five or six states, which we saw in 2016, even the slightest of margins can deliever the election
Third, Trump has en entire cable network campaigning for him 24/7, if he sneezes they'll frame it into significant political "news" promoting him. You can even see it now when often any reference to Biden is made it is often prefaced with "sleepy Joe" rather than any of his formal or casual titles
Fourth, Trump will receive foreign assistence helping him to get him reelected, except this time, based upon his inviting announcement two weeks ago, it will come from all his autocratic buddies and not just Russia. The world knows that the US Justice Dept won't interfere with Trump's Roy Cohn at the helm
Fifth, Trump will use the power of the Federal Gov't to aid in his reelection. Be it the Justice Dept, IRS, or any other Department headed by one of Trump's lackeys, wherever they can get involved they will, as we have seen, Trump thinks it is all there to serve him
Given such, regardless of the Democrat candidate, it is easy to see Trump reelected
