I'm not necessarily predicting a landslide or anything, but here's some food for thought I posted as a separte thread yesterday.
The President's Re-election Prospects Have Nearly Disappeared
Why?
-We’re engaged in a long-term war against an enigmatic enemy, with no end in sight
-American military members are suffering and dying at the hands of terrorists on foreign soil
-The media makes a concerted effort to only portray the President in a negative light
-The President’s job approval numbers are well under 60%, with just over a year left until the election
-The President scores well under 50% on polls asking if he should be re-elected
-The economy is struggling to emerge from a recent recession
-Defense spending is way up
-Budget deficits are a serious concern
-National unemployment is over 6%
-The Democrats have assembled a formidable, diverse group of contenders that criticize the President constantly, including one quote: "If [our soldiers] were sent there to fight, they are too few. If they were sent there to die, they are too many."

Although it could most certainly apply today, the above was written from a 1983 perspective. The fella running for re-election in 1984 did pretty okay that year. :-)
