52% is probably the ceiling for any presidential candidate, from either party, regardless of who they are or who they run against. Even Obama's win seems irreplicable now. We live in truly unprecedented, ultra-polarized times. 90% of each party's voters would vote for Adolf Hitler or the Devil, if he was their party's candidate, even if he ran against Jesus.
That is the tragic reality of our modern times. The thought of the country uniting around an FDR or a Ronald Reagan is inconceivable in this age.
Probably all true. But 52% or so is also probably the absolute ceiling.
