No, but it depends on what you consider to be a landslide.

For me:

popular vote landslide: margin of at least 10% between the winner and the runner-up
electoral vote landslide: winner gets 400 EVs or better

So, I wouldn't call 1992 or 1996 landslides.

Also see the thread about elections unlikely to be called close or a landslide.

I agree with Antonio on 1992; Bush's re-election wasn't all that implausible. On the other hand, 1996 was clearly not a close election, but I still wouldn't call it a landslide.
