Which US president won election with the biggest margin of electoral votes?

George Washington won the electoral college unanimously, but at the time the system was much different. Each elector voted for two people, not saying which he thought should be President or Vice President. There are no records of the popular vote.\n\nAside from that, FDR's election in 1936 was won by the widest margin at 98.493% of the electoral vote. He won the popular vote by a mere 60.8%. The nearest to him was James Monroe in 1820, with 98.297% of the electoral vote, but again there is no record of the popular vote.\n\nThe only election with a wider popular margin than FDR's in '36 was Johnson's in 1964, in which he received 61.1% of the popular vote.

Definitely Clinton.  During the Clinton years our economy was great (imagine operating with a budget surplus rather than deficit!) and he isn't a warmonger.

No less, either.  Walmart, Alltel, and Tyson boomed.\n\n[ADDED] Hey, Pencilnbrush! Do your research.  Eat this:\n\nArkansas vote breakdown---\n- 1992:  Clinton, 53.21%; Bush, 35.48%; Perot, 10.43%\n- 1996:  Clinton, 53.74%; Dole, 36.80%; Perot,  7.90%\n\nNot only did Clinton WIN ARKANSAS BOTH TIMES, but his margin of victory EXCEEDED PEROT'S VOTE PERCENTAGE.\n\nTruth hurts when all you can do is twist it, doesn't it?

The obvious answer is the candidate who gets the most votes.  I know someone will answer that by saying that didn't happen in the 2000 Presidential Election, but that election is settled by who gets the most Electoral College votes and not by a majority vote.  Regardless whom ever gets elected will find themselves subject to pressure from their party, the outside lobbyist ect to the point that by the time the next election comes they will find themselves to have sold their soles to the one who has the money and not to the electorate that voted them in to office.

In the 2000 election Gore won the popular vote, i.e. the majority voted for gore. In other countries you win if the majority votes for you. The foreigners dont believe that story about how Bush won because he got more of something called an electoral vote, especially since it happened in a state run by his brother. The election in Florida was done by computer, and everyone knows that a really good hacker can get into a computer and make it malfunction, so you know when theres something fishy going on with a computer, a hacker has made it past the firewall. Streamcat did'nt say concentration camp, he said temporary concentration camp, its a metaphor. People who the authorities considered inferior were locked up in a place where living conditions were a nightmare so they might think that New Orleans was a place they would not want to come back to after they became refugees. I wish Clinton was still president, those were the good old days.

Which president twice elected got better college grades than his opponents?  \n\nGeorge W. Bush\n\nSmarter than Gore and way smarter than Kerry.

It has happened.  Even in the 2000 Presidential Election, Gore called to concede, then realized that he might not have lost after all.\n\nThe bottom line is that the person who gets the most votes is elected, and the fact that he has conceded doesn't change that.\n\nGood luck!!

There has never been an exact tie in the Electoral College. To win, you must get a majority of all votes (curently 270 of the 538 Electors). The last time a candidate failed to do so was in 1824 with John Quincy Adams, who, because of the fragmented politics of the time, got only 84 of the 261 electoral votes. The election was then refered to the House of Representatives. Each state was allowed one vote, and Adams was elected over Andrew Jackson. The only time it has ever been even close to a tie was in 1876 when Rutherford Hayes beat Samuel Tilden 185 to 184.\n\nIn response to the two above answers, there is an even number of electors, 538, and the Senate chooses the Vice President in the event of a tie, not the president

The poll of 1,021 adult Americans was conducted May 5-7 by Opinion Research Corp. for CNN. It had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.\n\nRespondents favored Clinton by greater than 2-to-1 margins when asked who did a better job at handling the economy (63 percent Clinton, 26 percent Bush) and solving the problems of ordinary Americans (62 percent Clinton, 25 percent Bush). \n\nOn foreign affairs, the margin was 56 percent to 32 percent in Clinton's favor; on taxes, it was 51 percent to 35 percent for Clinton; and on handling natural disasters, it was 51 percent to 30 percent, also favoring Clinton.\n\nMoreover, 59 percent said Bush has done more to divide the country, while only 27 percent said Clinton had.\n\nWhen asked which man was more honest as president, poll respondents were more evenly divided, with the numbers -- 46 percent Clinton to 41 percent Bush -- falling within the poll's margin of error. The same was true for a question on handling national security: 46 percent said Clinton performed better; 42 percent picked Bush.

The most educated US President may have been Woodrow Wilson.  Wilson is the only President to have a Ph.D.  He was a renowned political scientist and was President of Princeton University prior to entering politics.  Andrew Jackson may have been one of the least educated Presidents ever.  Of course, being the most educated does not mean you're the "smartest," and being the least educated does not mean you're the "dumbest."  After all, as Andrew Jackson supposedly once said, "T'aint a very smart man can think of only one way to spell a word." ;-)

Many ways, one was - Black folks cast 54% of the 179,855 ballots "spoiled" in Florida.  Given the nearly unanimous support for Democrats among those Black voters, candidate Al Gore was the choice of the vast majority of those votes thrown away. If tallied, the total vote in Florida would have been 77,000 higher for Gore in a race officially giving the presidency to Mr. Bush by 537 votes.
