Weakest reelection?
Weaker even than King William in ‘96?
Yes, Obama’s reelection was weaker than Clinton’s in 1996.
Clinton won in 1992 with about 43% of the popular vote in a 3 way race, and got 370 electoral votes. In 1996, Clinton improved to 49% of the popular vote, again in a 3 way race, and improved to 379 electoral votes.
Obama was a rare reelection in which the incumbent had less support than he had in his original election.
Clinton in a 3-way race increased his vote totals over 1992. Obama in a 2 way race lost both electoral and popular votes from 2008. Quite an accomplishment.
