Or had he alienated his own party’s voters?

Deep South whites probably still did. But not much anyone else.

It's amazing that Wilson was considering a third term nomination at the 1920 Democratic convention.  He alienated just about everyone.  All the ethnic groups (Irish, German, and Italian) turned against the Democrats with almost vindictive joy--with huge swings to the Republicans in the Midwest and the large cities.   And the African-American vote in NYC for the Democrats had dropped all the way to 3 percent in 1920.

The euphoria of victory in World War One briefly boosted his public support and as he toured the country in support of the League if Nations people started talking about a third term, but the euphoria waned quickly. By 1920 I don't think anyone thought a Wilson third term was on the table between his unpopularity in the party  and country and his failing health.
