.In 1980, Ronald Reagan won the White House with just 86% of the Republican Vote. In 2000, Bush took 92% of the Republican Vote. In August, Bush had 88.4% of the Republican Vote. he now runs at 91.9%.

Few rememeber that John Anderson, defeated by Reagan in the primaries, ran as an independent and siphoned off some Reagan votes. Hence the likely reason for the 86% number for Reagan in 1980.
