How far back does the Atlas include Manhattan city data?
I once saw popular vote totals for NY boroughs and their predecessors back to the 1830s. Unfortunately they included only major parties  - and while most strong third parties were up, Martin Van Buren's 1848 freesoil candidacy was not. As the Whig+Democrat total in 1848 was way lower than in 1844, I suppose Van Buren did very well in NYC, but I'd like to know how well.

Margin of victory isn't really a good indicator. That would make 1912 a landslide.
...and so would the EC...well landslidish anyways.
Of course an easy win with well over 50% of the vote over a rather evenly divided opposition is a landslide. (Not referring to Wilson - he only got 40%)

It was actually a swing bellweahter Democrat/Whig county in the 1840s.
...when Free Soil split the vote.
