Yes despite being highly unvafavored, the president can still win re-election.  Here's how:
The election must be 31 days long and the voting public must be divided into 200 groups (of 100 thousand people in each.)  For the first day the President must group the voters in such a way that 39 of the 200 groups contain 50001 Presidential Guards and 49999 other voters.  The remaining 161 groups will contain almost completely anti voters and the remaining pro voters.  This garuntees that 39 of the 300 groups will elect a "next day voters" that will support the President.  The next day the President should make different types of groups of voters.  39 groups should contain 1 pro voter that is eligible to vote that day, 1 pro non voter, and 99990 anti voters who are not allowed to vote that day (allowing the voter to vote for the other pro person), 2 groups should contain 1 eligible anti voter and 99999 pro voters (forcing the voter to choose a pro voter, assuming in a democratic election you can only vote once), and finally 159 groups containing the rest of the eligible anti voters, and left over pro voters (naturally scattered out evenly to help the election look fair...)  With this grouping, 41 of the 200 groups will vote for the president on day 2.  Notice this is 2 more groups than the day before.  By reusing this grouping stradedgy day after day, the president will appear to be more and more favored as the days of the elecion go by.  By day 31 (when the next day voters get to vote for who they want to be president), the President will have 101 of the 200 groups voting for him, thus victory.
