No, he didn’t. 1996 was a bigger landslide in both EV and PV.
In terms of margin, sure. Obama won the largest % of the popular vote of any Democratic nominee in the last fifty years. (I don't care about the electoral college, as it's relatively easy to win by a large margin just by running against a divided opposition —see Wilson in 1912, Nixon in 1968, etc.)
