No party can win like 1988 anymore...so 2000 is the more correct answer, although even that isn't very accurate.

While it's incredibly hard to win by a margin of more then 7-8 points, that doesn't mean all elections are closer then 1988. 2008 was a victory similar to 1988 in being a significant landslide compared to the usual margin.

2000.

Relatively popular president is succeeded by the candidate of the opposite party, who narrowly wins.

While losing the popular vote.
