Lincoln was running against George McClellan, who denied that he was an anti-war Democrat (Copperhead), but it is hard to see how the war could have been carried on if the Democrats had won - which they looked as though they would.
The war had not gone well for the Union in 1864, and Lincoln privately confided that he thought he would lose. Then in September came three wins that improved his chances. Sherman captured Atlanta. Sheridan cleared the Shenandoah Valley. And Admiral Farragut liberated the blockade-runners' port of Mobile.
In the end he won a clear, though not decisive victory.
