[OSR stands with Israel]

My ranking probably would be:

1. Reagan 1980
2. Truman 1948
3. Nixon 1972
4. Johnson 1964
5. Bush 1988
6. Kennedy 1960
7. Eisenhower 1952
8. Nixon 1968
9. Reagan 1984
10. Eisenhower 1956
11. Carter 1976

[Mr. Smith]

Hmmm, prolly something like...

1. Truman
2. Nixon '72
3. Reagan '80
4. Johnson
5. Nixon '68
6. Kennedy
7. Reagan '84
8. Eisenhower '52
9. Eisenhower '56
10. G.H.W. Bush '88
11. Carter '76

1. Reagan 1980--a transformative election similar to 1932
2. Truman 1948
3. Johnson 1964
4. Eisenhower 1952
5. Nixon 1972
6. Reagan 1984
7. Eisenhower 1956
8. Kennedy 1960
9. Bush 1988
10. Nixon 1968
11. Carter 1976

Actually, all of the above election campaigns were pretty good except Carter 1976.  He almost blew it and ran far behind the party.
