Everyone knew that Bill would win in a landslide, which caused low turnout.
Everyone new Reagan would win in 1984 and there was still high turnout
Reagan was much more of a polarizing figure than Clinton ever was.
In which planet was Reagan more polarizing, Reagan won 49 states, 525 electoral votes, and 58.8% of the vote in 1984 and left office with 63% approval and because of him Bush won 400+ electoral votes in 1988.
Clinton won 379 electoral votes and 31 states in his reelection campaign and was impeached(Unjustifiably sure but that doesn't make him less polarizing). Clinton had 66% approval leaving office and his Vice President Gore lost in 2000.
Clinton was tied with Reagan in greatness but he was more polarizing then Reagan.
No. People were sick of the GOP near the end of Reagan's tenure which is why Dukakis was leading Bush in the summer of 88. Bush won by smearing Dukakis's name, not by campaigning on Reagan's record.
