I was looking at the opening post. 1960 was the first election with all the current 50 states. I plan on going back to 1788 with the spreadsheet I made.

Timur Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Just now, Timur said: Reagan, Nixon, and LBJ seem to be the greatest in landslides. Also, they were all incumbent Presidents. All three also had primary challenges in the elections they won by landslide, but none of them seems to have been a serious challenge.
