There have been 32 out of the 58 U.S. presidential elections to date in which the incumbent was a candidate (1792, 1800, 1804, 1812, 1820, 1828, 1832, 1840, 1864, 1872, 1888, 1892, 1900, 1904, 1912, 1916, 1924, 1932, 1936, 1940, 1944, 1948, 1956, 1964, 1972, 1976, 1980, 1984, 1992, 1996, 2004 & 2012). The incumbent won 22 times (69%) and lost 10 times (31%), which suggests that it's easier to win as an incumbent.
