Obama will win unless a strong Republican candidate emerges or the economy crumbles much more. Incumbents are difficult to beat even in a difficult economy. Obama will outspend his opponent by a substantial amount. A majority or near majority of voters are substantially dependent on government. Obama can count on the support of most the free loaders. Obama does not need to campaign in many major states including California, New York, Massachusetts, Maryland, and Illinois. He likely will win comfortably in other states such as New Jersey, Delaware, Conneticut, Washington State, Rhode Island, Oregon, and Vermont. Obama's math is relatively easy. He needs just a handful of swing states. Obama will be difficult to beat in Colorado as the economy is stronger than most states. Colorado receives a good deal of federal largesse.
