Those numbers look more accurate to me. As I said in my post, I have always understood that pre-1824 results were incomplete and unverifiable, although it is probably true undoubtedly true that Washington got close to 100% and Monroe exceeded 60%. I remember that the source I ran across in my haste (which I can't find at the moment because I can't remember what I googled that caused it to pop up towards the top) had a list of every election and the popular/electoral percentages. I think it listed LBJ as getting 59+ and FDR at 58+. I remember thinking "I thought LBJ got over 60%" when I saw it but figured it was close enough for the purposes conversation.
