Note: This is a list of the presidents who got the top 10 most percent of the popular vote. The first one will be George Washington.
George Washington got 100% of the popular vote both times he ran for president. He did not run against anyone in his second term, but in his first term he ran against John Adams. But he was still too much of a great person for John Adams to get any votes.
#3: James Monroe (80.61%)
This was James Monroe's second term. Later, you will see his first... Two hundred years ago, in 1820, he didn't have any chief opponent, but he did run against someone.
#4: Thomas Jefferson (72.79%)
This was Thomas Jefferson's second term. Just like most of the founding-father presidents, he is on this list. (but not all of them because John Adams wasn't!)
#5: James Monroe (68.16%)
It's Monroe again! This was his first term. James Monroe was our fifth president and he had the eighth and ninth elections.
#6: James Madison (64.73%)
Another founding father! Yep, I told you. Just like everyone else on this list so far.
#7: Thomas Jefferson (61.43%)
Again? This was his first term.
#8: Lyndon Baines Johnson (61.05%)
I do not know why he's on this list because I've heard people didn't want him to be president again because of the Vietnam War, and a lot of people didn't want to vote for him because of the Civil Rights Act. Really? Yep. Whoa.
#9. Franklin Delano Roosevelt (60.8%)
Um... guys? You know he was one of our greatest presidents, right? That's why he got 60.8% of the popular vote. This was Franklin Roosevelt's second term.
#10: Richard Millhous Nixon (60.67%)
Why Nixon? He ended the Vietnam War. This was his second term, and he would resign two years later.
