I dont think so as Smith lost half the southern states(FDR swept them ) , and other the Mass didnt really win that many states in New England.
This is why I think it is better to categorize the realignments as:
1. 1860-1896
2. 1896-1952
3. 1952-2008
4. 2008-present
The patterns are:
1. Northern working class coalesces against slavery, becomes solidly Republican, North vs. South elections for a generation.
2. Democrats finally break through with the Northern working class and Western commodity industries (small farmers, mining, logging, etc.).
3. Growth of suburbs eventually leads to a long period of conservative dominance (sometimes in coalition with Southern Democrats), African Americans become solidly Democratic.
4. Democrats permanently break through in the suburbs, elections become almost entirely rural vs. urban affairs. Republican rural margins start to match Democratic urban margins. Left wing ideas enter the mainstream again.
Elections like 1920, 1932, and 1980 should be thought of as the middle of an era of ideological dominance, not the end of it.
