Well, if the 45% are evenly dispersed, they will lose in most states.

In 1936, the popular vote was 60.80 for FDR DEM, 36.54 for Landon GOP). The electoral tally was...are you sitting down?

523-8. That's 98.5%-1.5%

FDR took 76% of FLA. 70% of VA. 73% of NC. 97% of MS. It was more competitive in the Northeast, but even there he took most states by 60-40 or better. He took the mountain states by closer to 70-30.

And his other victories were similarly massive.
