Most returning leaders do so with a reduced majoirity. I can't think of many leaders who have enjoyed a bigger majority in their second term than their first anywhere in the world.
There must be one or two, but most analysts would always go for a drop in the majority of 20% or so.
Either way, I think Romney's $5 trillion of reduced revenue will cost him a mountain of votes a awareness of what that means filters through. I wouldn't expect the kind of blind worship for extra spending that we see on this board from the Happy Spending "conservatives".
You only need to go back to 2004; the last time an incumbent president ran. Dubya got more support his second time around.
