 Sabato's Crystal Ball - Conventional Wisdom Watch
The last time the United States had two extremely close presidential elections in a row was in the 1880s.
Republican William McKinley changed all that in 1896 with his "realigning election" victory that kept the GOP as the country's governing party from 1897 to 1933, with the exception only of Woodrow Wilson's presidency (1913-1921) that was produced by the Bull Moose third-party candidacy of former President Theodore Roosevelt.
The nation actually had four close elections in a row, starting in 1876 with the famously disputed election between Republican Rutherford B. Hayes and Democrat Samuel J. Tilden (decided by an Electoral College vote of 185 to 184).
