the civil war
The defeat of Atlanta convinced the war weary North that end of the war was in sight and also led to the reelection of Abraham Lincoln
Because there was low civilian morale in the North, as Grant's strategy did not look successful through the summer of 1864 (Election Year). Lincoln's chances were rescured by some battlefield successes in the Fall.
The fall of Atlanta made the biggest news, though its military significance was less than the Union victory in the Shenandoah and the liberation of the port of Mobile. It was these three successes in the run-up to the election that raised civilian morale and saved Lincoln from being defeated.
William T. Sherman's capture of Atlanta during the Battle of Atlanta changed voters' minds about supporting Lincoln in the 1864 election. The battle happened on July 22, 1864.
The capture of Atlanta, Georgia, and then the capture of Savannah, Georgia, and the Battle of Cedar Creek, Virginia, were all important factors. Additionally, General Sherman's victory in Atlanta helped Abraham Lincoln win re-election in 1864.

With regards to the question, it seems that one particular US Civil War battle significantly helped President Lincoln to be reelected in November of 1864. Narrowed to one, then the fall of Atlanta in early September of 1864 helped Lincoln allot. Atlanta was a major Confederate city and a main railroad hub for the South.
