Can't call it at this point, it depends on 3 as-yet unknown things:

Who is the GOP candidate and how much baggage does he/she have (Or will the MSM make it appear he/she has)?

Does the GOP vote split?

What is the price of gas in Q3 2012?

DAT, I'd say that the bolded is the biggest factor, if not the only factor.  If it's at $5/gallon, there will be a Republican landslide.

^ Knocking on the door of 4 right now, and we have a lot of time until Inauguration. I'm an optimist (or trying to be) so I voted he'll lose BIG!

It would be decisive...but only if we don't have a split vote, or an unelectable candidate (And in that latter regard, think of Bush's old DWI case being dredged up only days before the 2000 election.  The other side will do its best to save at least one poison arrow they can find on each candidate until our primary process is done, and we are committed irrevocably to one of them).

He will lose big.  I know the democrats outnumber us 10 to 1, but you know, we know how to hack the election computers.

When Obama losses (loses... help me.  I'm on medication for my cold and can't think of the right word!  lol), he will refuse to leave the White House.

He will lose big...it's the economy stupid.

I would like to see a poll of the red states Obama won in 08. Betcha he is not leading ANY Republician in those states. Losing Florida and Ohio will spell doom for the Magic Negro.

I do. I think it is going to be a slaughter. Unemployed young uns and Reagan Democrats will not be energized with all that hope and change. Independents have left him in droves.

Realize that gas has gone to $4 a gallon with nary a word in the media. (it was all Bush's fault in 08..)
Bush threatened to drill for oil and prices dropped.

Now We may be facing $6 a gallon by summer...And Obama will do nothing. He WANTS energy prices up.
Will Obama drill for oil? No.

Gas will kill the economy and kill the democrats in 2012. And the 'Rats won't even see it coming.
2010 was an obvious debacle for the 'rats...more than a year away we all could see it coming. Did the 'rats change even one thing to save themselves? No!

In addition to the states McCain won, Obama loses:

New Hampshire, Ohio, Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, Colorado, New Mexico.

This will leave him approximately 20+ votes short of the 270 needed to be re-elected.
Note: If Romney is the nominee, I expect Obama to lose Michigan as well. That would bring
him down to the mid 230's in electoral votes.

I'm not considering momentum. This kind of loss could start a steamrolling effect.
It's possible he could lose states like Pennsylvania (-21) and Minnesota (-10) as well.

I predict Obama finishes with under 250 electoral votes. But I'm assuming a strong GOP candidate,
Romney, Huckabee, maybe Trump, maybe a candidate as yet unknown, Rick Perry?

Note: I still half-way expect Obama to announce he won't run for re-election. I'm probably wrong. But it's just a feeling I've had for a long time.
