Romney and Paul are the only two GOP contenders that have polled within the margin of error against Obama in multiple polls. What’s interesting is that Obama’s support drops from 47 to 42 when the contender is Paul instead of Romney (meaning Paul vs. Obama could be a much more volatile race).
Unlike Romney, Paul does not have popular support within the Republican party. However, even Rasmussen admits Paul is the strongest GOP candidate with non-affiliated voters BY A LOT.
I mean if Obama’s support drops all the way down to almost 40 in a head to head with Paul, wouldn’t it be worth a third party run (assuming the president’s approval rating is sub 40 and Mitt Romney is still being uninspiring)? The winner would only need about 37% of the popular vote to win.http://www.marketwatch.com/story/ron-pau…
“Paul currently does best of the four [Republican candidates] among voters not affiliated with either of the major political parties”

At what website can I find a presidential elections table that list all of the Presidents from Washington to Obama ( and who they ran against), list the party they were affiliated with, how many popular votes each had, percentage of the popular vote, electoral vote, and the percentage of voter participation?
I’m looking for a table similar ( or identical) to the one in the appendix of the text book called “The American Promise: A Compact History Volume 1 to 1877”
