Obviously depends which source, but Democrats continuously since 1992. Before that, always the incumbent party until 1968 (in 1968 Nixon was favored). Before that, Johnson, Kennedy, Eisenhower twice, and Dewey. Before that I don't know.

1948: Tom Dewey
1952: Dwight Eisenhower
1956: Dwight Eisenhower

1960: John Kennedy
1964: Lyndon Johnson

1968: Richard Nixon
1972: Richard Nixon
1976: Gerald Ford

1980: Jimmy Carter
1984: Ronald Reagan
1988: George Bush

1992: Bill Clinton
1996: Bill Clinton
2000: Al Gore
2004: John Kerry
2008: Barack Obama


2012 is still going on. Seems to me Obama, but it could still turn around. The closest calls are 1992 (I see the argument for Perot) and 2000 (I see the argument for Bush).
