They do note on an accompanying article that if the election were today the model would have Biden at like 93% or something (so the bulk of the uncertainty is coming from the time until the election, not the polls themselves).

Yes, and that's a limitation on their model. It's based on the existing polling data, so it can't be as aggressive as, say, prediction markets in forecasting a move in the polls toward Trump over the next 3 months.

As someone who went 48/50 in 2016 I put Trump's odds above 50% right now. Maybe something like 70/30 in his favor. Much of this is because I think Biden is a bad candidate and as the campaign gets going in earnest (with debates, etc) he's not going to be able to keep up.
