1936 was, objectively, a larger landslide than 1984.

By popular vote margin:

1. 1920 (26.2%)
2. 1924 (25.2%)
3. 1936 (24.3%)
4. 1972 (23.2%)
5. 1964 (22.6%)
6. 1904 (18.8%)
7. 1984 (18.2%)
8. 1932 (18.0%)
9. 1928 (17.4%)
10. 1956 (15.4%)

But the highest % of the vote goes to Johnson's 1964 election (61.1%)

But the highest % of the vote goes to Roosevelt's 1936 election (60.8%)

Nope. Actually the all-time record goes to LBJ with 61.05%.

Depends how you define it. 1920 was 60-34 for Harding, 1984 was 59-41 for Reagan. But 1984 was notable for its uniformity. Reagan won every region, every age group, almost every demographic group. Cox still rocked the south (at least to the extent that anyone rocked back in 1920, lol).

This. Although Johnson landsliding in the northeast and carrying the South despite the civil rights act was pretty badass. Also, Reagan nearly pulling off a clean sweep in '84, and getting David Horowitz and Peter Collier to vote for him was pretty swag, too.
