Since WW II four Republican presidents have been reelected while only one Democrat, Bill Clinton, has repeated. The Republicans have enjoyed a majority of the total vote for president seven times while the Democrats have done so only twice-Lyndon Johnson (60 percent) in 1964 and Jimmy Carter (50.07 percent) in 1976.
The following election results show a gradual erosion of liberal popularity since 1948.
