Yes. If the President is running for re-election and loses to the candidate from the other party, both names appear on the same ballot. The winner becomes the president-elect and the President is still the President, until January 20. This happened most recently in November, 1992, when Clinton defeated George H. W. Bush.

No, the president and president-elect cannot be on the same ballot. The president-elect is the individual who has been elected and will assume the presidency after the current president's term ends. During an election, voters choose between different candidates to determine who will become the president-elect, who will then become the next president.
