with perfect play, should it be 1-0, 0-1, or a draw?

If White and Black both play perfectly, who wins? Or is it a draw?

I'd be interested to know how chessplayers' opinions on this question
are distributed.

Personally I think White wins, because he starts with a clear
advantage.

I suspect most people might think the game is a draw.
