I will say there may also be a difference between Trump being the underdog in the polls when he's an inexperienced celebrity going against an established politician in 2016 and Trump being the underdog when he's the sitting president in 2020. Both Truman and Carter followed their underdog wins by losing the next election's polls and then getting ushered out of the white house. Truman just flat-out didn't run in 1952 but he was getting killed in the polls and he'd been the VP and president for like a billion terms by then, anyways.

Time will tell.  I will say that it is interesting watching Trump supporters in 2020 acting as smug as Clinton supporters were in 2016 though.
