Why was it possible that Lincoln would not be reelected in 1864?

What conclusions can be reached based on Lincoln's victory in 1864?
He was expecting to lose, on account of war-weariness in the North, following months of heavy casualties at Petersburg. He was saved by some timely successes during the run-up to the election - Phil Sheridan reclaiming the Shenandoah, Sherman taking Atlanta, and Farragut liberating the port of Mobile.

It was one of the dramatic Union victories that came just in time (Autumn '64) to save Northern morale, and encourage them to vote Lincoln back in. The capture of Atlanta had not been a big priority with Grant. Technically Sherman had failed in his mission to destroy the Army of Tennessee. But 'Atlanta Falls' made big headlines all the same. So did the other two victories - the liberation of the port of Mobile (David Farragut.), and the clearing of Confederates out of the Shenandoah Valley (Phil Sheridan).
