I think you're overestimating at least a little bit - of course the overemotional minority are going to make for the loudest voices. And you *do* live in Virginia. :) I could be wrong, but history does show that it's very unusual for a president to not win a second term. That's why Carter's the go-to example for Republicans calling to oust an incumbent; he was the last Democratic incumbent to not be reelected, and that was back in the 70s. (I think George H.W. was the last incumbent, but that was still more than two decades ago.)
ETA: Almost two decades ago. 1993. Hurr durr. Math is hard. Derp.
