History says this years election could be a blow-out!

I've done a little research into past Presidential elections going back to 1932. In every election where the incumbent was running for re-election he either won or lost in a blow-out.

Here are the results and you as I may find them fascinating:


Year Candidate Electoral Vote % of Vote

1932 Roosevelt 472 57.4%
Hoover* 59 39.7%
Others 2.9%

1936 Roosevelt* 523 60.8%
Landon 8 36.5%
Others 2.7%

1940 Roosevelt* 449 54.7%
Wilkie 82 44.8%
Others 0.5%


1944 Roosevelt* 432 53.6%
Dewey 99 46.0%
Others 0.4%

1948 Truman** 303 49.6%
Dewey 189 45.1%
Thurmond 39 2.4%
Wallace, H. 2.4%
Others 0.6%

1956 Eisenhower* 457 57.6%
Stevenson 73 42.1%
Others 1 0.3%

1964 Johnson** 486 61.3%
Goldwater 52 38.6%
Others 0.1%

1972 Nixon* 520 60.7%
McGovern 17 37.6%
Schmidtz 1.4%
Others 0.3%

1980 Carter* 49 41.0%
Reagan 489 50.8%
Anderson 6.6%
Others 1.6%

1984 Reagan* 525 58.8%
Mondale 13 40.6%
Others 0.6%

1992 Bush* 168 37.5%
Clinton 370 43.0%
Perot 18.9%
Others 0.6%

1996 Clinton* 379 49.2%
Dole 159 40.8%
Perot 8.5%
Others 1.5%

*Stands for Incumbent
**Running for first full term

For what it is worth I'll make a prediction. I say that Shrub does not even get the percentage vote that his father got in 1992 (37.5%)
