It's amusing that there were some people who either believed or tried to make the others believe that Landon will defeat Roosevelt in 1936. The Literary Digest "poll" was giving Alf 370 electoral votes victory, lol (of course, most of the polled were Republicans).
As of 1984, Reagan was considered by many as likely vulnerable for a good part of his first term.
In modern times, beside LBJ in 1964 and Nixon in 1972, no one seriously doubted Ike two victories.
