By The Numbers - part the eightieth

The wiki is a very useful reference, in that it aggregates data for you. At the moment (13:51 18 Nov), The Utterly Unhinged^© has a 2.6 million vote lead, and sits at 50% of the popular vote. So, enquiring minds want to know, how close is this 'win' for the corrupt? Turns out, kinda close.

If we limit ourselves to just the 50 state elections, Dubya and The Utterly Unhinged^© both had negative margins. And The Utterly Unhinged^© has the third smallest lead, by a bunch, when winning from ahead.

2024 - 1.72%
1968 - 0.70%
1960 - 0.17%

The next closest race: Carter at 2.06%.

Parsing through the table, the sore thumb sticking out is the wild gyrations in margins. Some in low single digits, others well above 20%. Harding, King of Corruption (died before he got caught) and Coolidge his deathbed successor, bested FDR's margins; all of them. More proof that Menken was right.
