Putin’s % of the vote…
- 2018: Putin 76.69%
- 2012: Putin 63.60%
- 2004: Putin 71.9%
- 2000: Putin 53.4%
By comparison here are the highest %'s for US Presidential elections…
- 2016: Clinton 48.2%
- 2012: Obama 51.1%
- 2008: Obama 52.9%
- 2004: Bush 50.7%
- 2000: Gore 48.4%
- 1996: Clinton 49.2%
- 1992: Clinton 43.0%
- 1988: Bush 53.4%
- 1984: Reagan 58.8%
- 1980: Reagan 50.7%
- 1976: Carter 50.1%
So, as you can see, we’ve only have ONE person in the last 42 years (Reagan in '84) who had a higher percentage of the votes than Putin’s LOWEST total. His LOWEST total.
And Putin’s competitors usually get in the teens percentage wise (for example the recent election on 3/18/18 was Putin 76.69%, Grudinin 11.77%).
So, I’m thinking that Putin is one of the greatest and most popular politicians in the history of the world. And he just keeps getting better/stronger.
