Feingold keeps Obama back from a landslide victory.

It depends on Obama's approvals, but you're joking if you think he still wins the election by that large of a margin if there are two liberals running. Feingold would most certainly split the left vote in Wisconsin. No way Obama gets 40% there with him on the ballot.

First of all, the OP didn't specify the year or the conditions. So I went under the assumption that it was 2012 and that Obama was moderately successful. Chances are that a Feingold run would not be able to leach off a whole lot of a fairly popular incumbent president's support.

If Obama is unpopular, then Feingold would certainly doom his chances.

Let's assume that the elections took place today (or that the political environment is no different than it is today).

Obama is rather popular at the moment, so he would probably win very easily, Feingold or not.
