The same could have been said about FDR. The only Democrat to get above 50% before FDR-1932 was Samuel Tilden and that was in 1876...56 years previous to 1932. But economic circumstances were a bit out of the ordinary in 1932. We have economic circumstances now that are a bit out of the ordinary as well.

In 1932 the unemployment rate was 23.6%, hardly analogous to the present economic situation.
