Flocking to Flossi

The most lopsided outcome in a U.S. presidential election occurred in 1936, when incumbent President Franklin D. Roosevelt won re-election against Republican candidate Alf Landon.

Electoral Vote: Franklin D. Roosevelt won 523 electoral votes, while Alf Landon won only 8. This gave Roosevelt 98.49% of the electoral vote, the highest percentage ever won by a candidate.

- Popular Vote: Roosevelt's victory in the popular vote was nothing short of a landslide, with him securing a staggering 60.8% compared to Landon's 36.5%. This overwhelming margin of victory is a testament to the public's endorsement of Roosevelt's New Deal policies.

- States Won: Roosevelt carried 46 48 states, losing only Maine and Vermont.

This overwhelming victory strongly endorsed Roosevelt's New Deal policies during the Great Depression, and it remains the most lopsided presidential election in U.S. history regarding electoral vote percentage.
