In 2012, Romney defeated Obama by 73 percent to 25 percent in Utah â the largest margin of victory in any state. This year, Trump won just 46 percent of the vote -- a 26 point drop-off. Much of the drop-off can be traced to Salt Lake County, home to roughly 4 in 10 Utah residents.
The most lopsided president election in U.S. history was Democrat Franklin Delano Roosevelt's 1936 victory against Republican Alfred M. Landon. Roosevelt won 98.5 percent or 523 of the 538 electoral votes up for grabs that year. Such a lopsided president election is unheard of in modern history. But Roosevelt's victory is by no means the only lopsided presidential election. Republican Ronald Reagan won the most electoral votes of any president in history, 525. But that was after seven more electoral votes were added to the prize. His 525 electoral votes represented 97.6 percent of all 538 electoral votes.
