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.
In fact, neither candidate did. The decision went to the House of Representatives, which voted Adams into the White House. In 1876, Rutherford B. Hayes won the election (by a margin of one electoral vote), but he lost the popular vote by more than 250,000 ballots to Samuel J. Tilden. In 1888, Benjamin Harrison received 233 electoral votes to Grover Clevelandâs 168, winning the presidency. But Harrison lost the popular vote by more than 90,000 votes. In 2000, George W. Bush was declared the winner of the general election and became the 43rd president, but he didnât win the popular vote either. Al Gore holds that distinction, garnering about 540,000 more votes than Bush. However, Bush won the electoral vote, 271 to 266.
