Not since Reagan in 1984 have we seen anyone get 55% of the popular vote for President. The last time that a challenger got 55% of the vote against an incumbent President was 1932... when FDR trounced Hoover.
And without Anderson in 1980, Reagan probably clears 55% with room to spare.
Looks like the 40-year Presidential cycle theory is holding.
My 2020 prediction is that Stephen Skowronek is gonna get a flurry of press in a few months. If these numbers hold up, its almost eerie how closely the 1980-2020 presidential sequence lines up with 1932-1980 in some ways. Hard for me to conceive of Joe Biden as a reconstructive leader though.
