While the electoral vote margins in 1972 and 1984 are greater than what Johnson got in 1964, Johnson's 61.05% of the popular vote in 1964  is the largest share of the popular vote anyone has gotten since Monroe got 80.6% in an essentially unopposed 1820 election.

Where did you get the 1820 popular vote figure TF?

Altho technically, that's the vote share for Republican electors, not for Monroe himself.  Here's a weird fact.  The Federalist electors won in Massachusetts, but they voted for Monroe as well.
