Depends who was running against him and whether the voters knew there was someone running against him
I think you are right if both sides meet a minimum money threshhold to be a viable candidate. I'm not sure on the numbers, but I want to say that Mubarak has a 4 to 1 advantage.
And Mubarak is not Stalin by the way.
