1912 really skewed things, but would be interesting is if anybody with a paid subscription tell me if Fresno County in California voted more Democrat in 1928 than 1924; precentage-wise.
That was probably a true "New Deal" County as it finnally become GOP when Reagan dismantled whatever he could of the New Deal.
You can't really compare 1924 to 1928 because LaFollette skewed things.
Fresno 1924:
Calvin Collidge 44.01%
Robert LaFollette 41.76%
John Davis 12.98%
Fresno 1928:
Herbert Hoover 54.30%
Al Smith 44.32%
How do the 1920 numbers stack up?
Al Smith had a huge boost over Davis, but I'd wager a lot of the LaFollete people had switched to Davis.
