Keep an on eye on these players, and these numbers, in 2015: PEYTON MANNING, QB. 2,148: Passing yards needed to surpass Favreâs 71,838 and become the NFLâs career leader. Manning has 69,691 in his 17 NFL seasons.
Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama combined for an average 4.3 percentage point drop in voter participation from their first election to their second. Perhaps a turnout decline is to be expected for successfully reelected presidents.
But this scenario has played out in our nationâs history before. In 1824, John Quincy Adams was elected president despite not winning either the popular vote or the electoral vote. Andrew Jackson was the winner in both categories. Jackson received 38,000 more popular votes than Adams, and beat him in the electoral vote 99 to 84. Despite his victories, Jackson didnât reach the majority 131 votes needed in the Electoral College to be declared president. In fact, neither candidate did.
