Now a presidential recall election

[President Johnson]

Let's say a presidential recall election would be possible now, like in some states, how would such a recall against President Obama turn out? Republicans nominate Mitt Romney again under this scenario. Is he able to beat the president this time?

Maps?

[NHI]

√ Mitt Romney/Paul Ryan: 295 (50.9%)

Barack Obama/Joe Biden: 243 (48.9%)

2016

√ Mitt Romney/Paul Ryan: 337 (51.4%)

Martin O'Malley/Elizabeth Warren: 201 (47.6%)

√ Mitt Romney/Paul Ryan: 295 (50.9%)

Barack Obama/Joe Biden: 243 (48.9%)

This looks about right.

I think he could, but I doubt it gets to that point, because Hillary is elected President in the 2006 recall election after Katrina.

There'd have to be strict requirements for recall elections thanks to how partisan and polarized the political climate is, or else I fear there would be recall elections every few months.

What would 1986 or 1978; 1962 or 1966 look like?

1986: Reagan still wins with a comfortable margin
1978: Jimmy Carter probably loses in a close race
1962: Landslide victory for JFK
1966: LBJ still wins with a solid margin

But that also depends much on the opponent.
