There are a few reasons as to why the storm troopers would win.
1. The OP stated above that this battle is not an open field land-brawl with all 50,000 v 50,000 at once. This takes place across the entire US, which would give the ST an advantage due to strategy.
2. Battle Prowess.
As stated by zangetsusama01 above, the only reason their aim is considered poor is due to the fact that they were ordered by Palpatine to not actually kill certain members of the rebels on more than one occasion.
These troopers would have received the same training that the clones did, but would be genetically superior (being non-clones), and thus more formidable foes. If we do actually consider the EU, they are expert marksmen.
3. They would have vastly superior tactics.
Again, as was stated above, the DE have never demonstrated any kind of strategy or battle tactics, and rely on sheer force and number. That would go very, very badly for them. Sure they are very formidable against normal muggles and muggle tech, but this scenario has neither of those. Exactly how is a death eater going to fair against imperial starships? (obviously smaller ones such as tie-fighters, as we don't have the crew for a Destroyer) Let's assume, however, that there are no starships being used.
There are still the ATST's and ATAT's to contend with. I don't think that the DE have anything that can damage an ATAT, as they have withstood much larger blasts and firepower than whatever a DE could muster.
If we are relying solely on foot soldiers though, there are still blasters, mini-guns, grenades, grenade launchers, speeder bikes, and snipers. That last one would be particularly troublesome for a death eater, as their attacks do rely on line of sight, and they would almost never be close enough to a sniper to actually see them.
The DE also have tons of people who are literally clinically insane, which would really stymie any attempt at forming a strategy.
4. Darth Vader. This, just this.
If we are using EU Vader, this does literally become one sided. There are attacks that he can use, such as force destruction, that literally vaporizes anything it comes into contact with and has a massive damage radius. Or force cloak, allowing him to become invisible. Or even force repulse, which was essentially a small force nuke. The DE would just have nothing to stop or combat these.
Even if it is non EU Vader, he still takes this by storm.
-His precognition would allow him to see anything they do before they do it, and be ready to counter it. This is one of the reason that the Jedi had such a hard time with him.
-His unbelievable telekinesis. Exactly what defense would a DE have against a small house being hurled at them at high velocity? Even Voldemort would have a difficult time with this ability, he could deal with it, but it would be terribly distracting.
-Tutaminis gives him the ability to absorb ANY kind of energy including light sabers (Citation: Han shoots him and he just catches the laser. Palpatine force lightnings him and it does nothing to him, the only reason he died from it is that it shorted out his life support). He learned this one a bit later in his sith-hood, but would still have it here. This would render spells (a form of energy) absolutely useless against him. There is nothing they could do.
-Saber throw would just be devastating to the DE ranks.
So whether EU or not, the presence of Vader is a game changer, and eventually they will have to contend with him, even if they kill all of the troopers.
EDIT: It is also worth considering that among the ranks of the Storm troopers are Inquisitors and Dark Jedi, both of which would pose a major problem for the DE, as the are both ruthless and masters of the dark side.
