Yes with the exception of 88. I would include 2020. Despite his brand I think that Trump in practice did come off as less relatable then Biden.

Was Humphrey, a huge union and working class supporter, really seen as more elite than Nixon? Was it due more to racial views, if so?

Other than that, I suppose there is a connection. Though 2016 and 2020 are more difficult to classify since the definition of "elite" lost all meaning by then.

Nixon was also a coward who refused to debate Humphrey so I think that election might be hard to classify.
