What's your criteria for the term 'Landslide'?

This is the ultimate example.....we may never see it again.

Nixons popular vote margin was considerably bigger then Reagans. Nixon recieved over 60% McGovern only got 37% where as Reagan won 58% to Mondale's 40.5% Reagans share of the electoral vote was larger but had Hawaii and Alaska been states under FDR Im sure he would hold the record for his 1936 reelection.

In the electoral college, a landslide to me is 404 (75%).
In the popular vote, a landslide has the winner ahead by >10%.

To me, 1988 was a half-landslide.  96 and 2008 were not landslides, but they were close.  In the last 60 years, the only complete landslides were 1952, 56, 64, 72, 80 and 84.

This.
I agree and approve of your message!

At least 400 electoral votes and/or beat the opponent by 10 pts in the popular vote.

Winning 380-400 electoral votes and besting your opponent by over 10 points in the popular vote would still narrowly qualify as a landslide in my book.

1936 Landslide
1964 Landslide
1972 Landslide
1980 Landslide
1984 Landslide---but note the popular vote was closer then 1936 1964 and 1972 a point not often mentioned with Reagans "record win".
1988 Ass kicking but not a complete landslide due to the popular vote.
1992 Trouncing not a landslide
1996 Bigger Trouncing but not a complete landslide due to the popular vote.
2008 Ass kicking but clearly not a landslide.
