In general, when running against a sitting president, the odds are always stacked against you. Most shrewd politicians won't tempt fate. The people who challenge sitting presidents are usually fairly old guys who won't have another chance to run if they wait four years (Mondale, Dole, Romney).
It requires a fluke event like a third party candidate (1992) or unexpected foreign political developments (1980).
