1960: JFK without a doubt
1964: LBJ
1968: Humphrey (which is prob why it ended up being so close)
1972: Nixon
1976: Carter (Ford was often parodied as a bumbling fool)
1980: Reagan (Less so in the beginning of the campaign)
1984: Reagan
1988: HW (this became apparent in the debates when Dukakis was asked whether he'd still oppose the death penalty if his wife was raped and murdered...)
1992: "Comeback Kid" Bill Clinton
1996: Clinton
2000: W
2004: Kerry
2008: Obama
2012: Obama
2016: You could argue Trump. Since they badly wanted a horserace and felt Hillary was going to have a landslide otherwise. But of course, most media personalities wanted her to win.
