I think it's pretty obvious that they did.  Interestingly, I have also read that Karl Rove and Bush initially thought they had lost in 2004.

Yeah I remember that cover of Tim Magazine in 2004 that I think said
"Kerry was going to be the next President Of The United States".

At first I also suspected that Obama was surprised he had won in 2012, but apparently that wasn't the case and the inner circle knew that things were adding up as they needed to during election day.
