Nixon on the GOP side, since he got the most popular votes. Out of all contests, LBJ of course.

Why is Coolidge 1924 not a choice. In terms of the 2 party vote 1924 was the largest gap ever.

1924 was decisive but no Harding/Nixon/Eisenhower/Reagan-style landslide. Coolidge underperformed them by clear margins. He got 54% of the votes and 71% of the electoral votes.

The largest gap (ever) was in 1920. Harding's 60.3% to Cox' 34.1% is a gap of 26.2%. Coolidge's 54.0% compared to Davis' 28.8% is a gap of "only" 25.2%.

Going straight by electoral votes, Reagan in '84. But if we're going by the popular vote, Harding in 1920.

Harding won 60.3%; Nixon 60.7%
