Candidates from different years vs. each other

[bgwah]

Totally unscientific and just for fun.

LaFollette 1924 vs. Wallace 1968. Some nice North-South division until you get to New England, where they both did terribly which gives us some funny results, like RI. And yes, Minnesota may only win "most LaFollette" because Humphrey drained votes from Wallace.




Nixon 1972 vs. Reagan 1984. The two 49 state GOP landslides versus each other. Not a single >60% state, though D.C. is >60% Nixon because a certain ethnic group wasn't very fond of Ronald Reagan.

Nixon is blue. Reagan is green.




Clinton 1992 vs. Humphrey 1968. Two Democrats who got ~43% against each other. Vermont's rapid trend is showing itself. Otherwise Clintopia would be contiguous!

Clinton is red.




Anderson 1980 vs. Perot 1996. Actually quite interesting.

Anderson is yellow.




Roosevelt 1936 vs. Johnson 1964. Two 61% D landslides.

LBJ is red, FDR is green.

Very nice.

Here's a fun one:

Obama (2008) vs. Bush (1988)



Looks like a pretty bland prediction for a close 2008 election, though Colorado (the closest state here), and of course New Hampshire stand out.

Also of note is that Obama manages to lose West Virginia, a Dukakis state.

With the 2008 Electoral College, this happens to be a 269-269 tie as shown...though the outcome of Maine CD2 is in doubt.  By my calculations, Bush wins Maine CD2 (and the election) by around 80 votes, though I'm frankly just guessing as to the third party totals there in 1988.  With the 1988 Electoral College, Obama wins by 20 EV or so.

Nixon (1960) v. Truman (1948)



Picked this one because both Truman and Nixon got 49.55% of the popular vote.

Parts of the Deep South are understandably wonky due to Thurmond, but even so this is one crazy map...and despite the closeness of the PV Nixon walks away with this one.

Wilson (1916) v. Clinton (1996)



Wilson and Clinton were just a hundredth of a percent off in their popular vote percentages.

Despite the 80-year gap, this looks like something out of a prediction for the 2000 race, except with Wilson as the Republican.

[Californian Tony]

Ironical how the 1988 winner would win with the 2008 College and vice-versa.

[Senator Snowstalker]

I'd love to see Mondale vs. McGovern.

[mondale84]

McGovern (blue) vs. Mondale (red)



Mondale landslide

Bush '92 vs. McGovern



Remember, McGovern did get a (slightly) larger percentage of the popular vote in '72 than Bush did in '92.  McGovern wins in a squeaker.

[Nichlemn]

I'd like to see Bush 04 versus Carter 76, please.

[I Am Feeblepizza.]

It would be nice to use the electoral map that we have now in every election, regardless of the candidates. By that, I mean that we should use Alaska, Hawaii, and our current EV count every time. I'd love to see how people like LaFollette or FDR do in Alaska, or how Andrew Jackson or Abraham Lincoln do with the map we have right now.

Kennedy 1960 vs. Clinton 1996




Kennedy- Green 
Clinton- Yellow

Gore 2000 vs. Kerry 2004



Gore- Blue
Kerry- Green

Kennedy 1960 vs. Clinton 1996




Kennedy- Green 
Clinton- Yellow

How does Clinton win Massachusetts?

[Thomas D]

Clinton got 61.47% in 1996 and Kennedy got 60.22% in 1960. Isn't that how this works?

[A-Bob]

Bush '92 vs. McGovern



Remember, McGovern did get a (slightly) larger percentage of the popular vote in '72 than Bush did in '92.  McGovern wins in a squeaker.

Remember how Ross Perrot ran in '92?

[Vazdul (Formerly Chairman of the Communist Party of Ontario)]

McGovern vs. Goldwater



298-240 McGovern (in 1972 numbers), despite losing the popular vote.

Al Smith vs. Hoover '32



321-210 Smith (in 1932 numbers).

[Vazdul (Formerly Chairman of the Communist Party of Ontario)]

By Nichlemn’s request, Bush ‘04 vs. Carter ‘76



Bush trades Georgia and Arkansas for Michigan. 281-257 Bush (in 2004 numbers).

[Thomas D]

Kennedy 1960 vs. Carter 1976



Carter-Blue
Kennedy-Green

Carter wins 269-268 using 1960 numbers.

[Vazdul (Formerly Chairman of the Communist Party of Ontario)]

Gore (2000) vs. Ford (1976)



300-238 Gore (using 2000 numbers). Wisconsin gets the special pink shade for being too close to call. In the end, it goes to Gore by about seven-thousandths of a percentage point.

[You kip if you want to...]

Obama Primary Vs. Obama General

[FloridaRepublican]

Wilson (1912) vs Roosevelt (1936)?

[You kip if you want to...]

Bill 1996 Vs. Hillary 2008. Within 1% of eachother, in terms of the info on the Atlas, so why not?



Senator Clinton - 48.26% (286 EVs)
President Clinton - 49.23% (252 EVs)

[Thomas D]

Wilson (1912) vs Roosevelt (1936)?

Roosevelt wins every state since he got about 60% and Wilson got 42%.
