In 1964, 1968, 1972, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2016, and 2020, my real answer is “neither” for the GOP ticket as I dislike both candidates.

It’s really “neither” for both tickets in 1972, honestly.

In 1960, 1964, 1992, 1996, 2008, and 2012, my real answer is “both” for the Democratic ticket as I really like both candidates.

There is a wide gap between who I prefer on the GOP ticket and the other candidate in 1960, 1976, 1980, 1984, 1988, 1992, 2008, and 2012.
