no 1968 was, 1952 and 1956 reflected Ike's popularity

Realigning elections since 1896 go like this

1896-1932
1932-1968
1968-1992
1992- Present

I would say 1980 was, not 1968.

1980 was just 1968 without George Wallace,  and Democrats being more unpopular

Democrats lost 5-6 previous elections with 4 of them being landslides and now have the advantage in every election since 1992

Rethinking this. I think there are two kinds of realigning presidential elections: Demographic and Ideological.

1932 was actually both.

Demographic: 1952 and 1992.

Ideological: 1980 and 2008.

I would change 1952 to 1968
