All Time Bush v. Clinton
(made by counting the number of times a Bush or Clinton won each state in 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, and 2016)
Polls showed Mondale as a favorite in 1984, after Carter's very successful 2nd term, but in the end he only beat George H.W Bush by a slim margin in the electoral college and 2.5% in the popular vote. Mondale did fairly well in the South, taking Georgia, South Carolina, Kentucky, Louisiana, Arkansas and Tennessee. Alabama and Florida were very close due to Carter's vigorous campaigning for Mondale there.
However, Mondale wasn't so lucky in 1988...
He only managed to win his home state of Minnesota (but only by 1.5%), West Virginia (by less than 1500 votes), and of course DC (which he won by a metric fuck ton of votes). Bob Dole pummeled Mondale in the popular vote, winning 60-38%. Massachusetts was the closest of Dole's victories, followed by Rhode Island and New York. Dole won Massachusetts by 4.5%, Rhode Island by just over 5%, and New York by 6.7%.
Wow. Of course, Reagan got just a few more EVs in OTL '84, but wow. Poor Mondale. Not even being President could save him from giant landslides.
Dukakis wins
Michael Dukakis/Lloyd Bentsen-Democratic: 49.65%
George Bush/Dan Quayle-Republican: 49.37%
Oh, and here's an "standard-electoral-map" version of your USA.@MoralisticCommunist: How does this USA work? Electing governors, or by a parliamentary structure?
Oh wow that's super cool that you managed to make a standardized version of my USA! And as for the structure of the executive branch, in most states it's a parliamentary structure where the governor is elected by the lower house, but some states have a more independent governor which is elected in a two-round system. I haven't put too much thought into how the national legislature would work but it'll probably be some sort of EU-esque system, with the possibility of a ceremonial President elected through an electoral college.Oh, and here's an "standard-electoral-map" version of your USA.

What are the EVs on that?
