1972 United States Presidential Election (President Wallace)

The 1972 United States Presidential Election was the 47th quadrennial presidential election. It was held on Tuesday, November 7, 1972. Incumbent Constitution President George Wallace won a landslide re-election to a second term. Until the 1984 election, this was the largest margin of victory in a popular vote ever, and one of the largest Electoral Collage victories in history.

Wallace easily swept aside challenges from Spiro Agnew and Pete McCloskey in the primaries, winning re-nomination. The new Progressive Party chose McGovern, while selecting 1968 GOP Nominee Nelson Rockefeller as his running mate.
