Clinton beat dole by 6million ( to be fair perot got about 8million that year though)
clinton beat bush sr by about 5 million ( again perot was involved and got about 19 million that year )
bush beat dukakis by 7million
reagan beat mondale by 17million.
reagan beat carter by 8 million ( anderson ran that year and got 5 million votes as an independent )
Eisenhower beat Stevenson by 9million
