I think it’s hard to assume that because the way you campaign would be extremely different if it was purely popular vote. In the EC system, a Republican knows not to waste time in California, but in a popular vote scenario, it’s valuable to campaign in California.
Would a democrat still win the popular vote? Probably, but it would be significantly closer than the current gap due to different campaigning strategies
