No. Realigning elections are based on an ideological shift. 1952 was a war hero and an unpopular Truman

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.

1968 was, but it was interrupted by Watergate.

We saw GOP suburbs in places like IL, NY, NJ , CT and CA go Dem.

I think the 1990-91 recession was realigning. While a mild recession, it was the first recession that hit white collar workers hard.

You could argue that every election is a realigning election in some regard.

Certainly not 1976. It was a fluke election.
