Obama would lose all but DC in this case. Even Hawaii will turn.

The interesting thing historically is that Hoover actually did admirably well given his circumstances.  He won 6 states and held Roosevelt under 60% of the popular vote.  He did better than McGovern, Mondale, or Goldwater.  Perhaps it  could be that Roosevelt's 57.4% is the absolute ceiling for a non-incumbent?  Even Eisenhower, who had the popularity of a deity in 1952, only managed 55%.

60% is just a difficult number to achieve.  It's not like it happens frequently for incumbents.  Popular incumbents like Eisenhower and Reagan couldn't do it either.
