I'd agree that 1996 was the last election that was clear who the winner was months out, but 2008, at least, was clear weeks out that Obama would win. It was pretty competitive for most of the year, but the financial crisis sank McCain hard and turned what would've been a fairly close race into a rout.
2000 is almost an exception the other way. W was a favorite going into the election and nearly lost anyway when the race was unexpectedly close.
