Eh unless one has an unrealistically strict definition I'd call 1988 and 2008 landslides. I'll leave 1996 arguable given the unique Perot impact.

The old definition was a 10 point plus win. Which we haven’t had since 1984. 1988 was certainly an electoral landslide. Clinton in ‘96 came close both popularly and electorally.

From 1920-1984, 12 of the 17 elections were popular and electoral vote landslides.
