No. Harding got 60% of the popular vote, but lost 11 states, several by very sizeable margins.

Same thing as 1964, really.

If Bush would have won 60% of the vote and 39 states, I'm betting you would be calling that a landslide.  Harding lost the South, which Republicans just didn't win at that time.

Electoral Landslides: 1936, 1964, 1972, 1980, 1984
Popular Landslides:  1920, 1936, 1964, 1972

I define Electoral landslides as 90%+ of EC vote
I define Popular Landslides as 60% + of popular vote

I'd say yes. The South was too small electorally to stop it frm being a landslide.

A candidate could lose the election and get 60% of the vote. Would you consider that a landslide?
