Way too early. The person who is in the lead as a normal primary begins, is NEVER the final nominee.

Uh, Joe Biden was in the lead from the start.

Doesn't change the fact that someone can be - and has been - in the lead as a normal primary began, and still go on to become the final nominee. The battle ahead is tough enough; there's no point in being so pessimistic that we make up false statistics to feel even more hopeless.
