Answer:
the election of Lyndon Johnson
Explanation:
The United States presidential election of 1964 was the sixth most unbalanced election of the presidential elections in the history of the United States, after the elections of 1936, 1984, 1972, 1864 and 1980 (in terms of electoral votes, in terms of popular vote, was the fifth most unbalanced). President Lyndon B. Johnson had arrived at the office less than a year before, after the assassination of his predecessor, John F. Kennedy, and Johnson succeeded in adding to Kennedy's popularity. Johnson also successfully defeated his opponent, Republican Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona, as a right-wing lawmaker who wanted to abolish welfare programs created in the 1930s (such as Social Security). LBJ advocated more of those programs, and after 1965, instituted three: medical care (Medicare), medical assistance (Medicaid), and the War on Poverty. With these factors in which he worked, Johnson easily won the Presidency, had 44 of the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Like the one in 2009, the 22.6 percentage point of Johnson gave room for victory in the popular vote and is the fifth largest such margin in the history of the presidential elections (after the margins of the 1920 election of 1924 the elections of 1936 the elections, and in 1972 the elections). Johnson won 61.1% of the popular national vote, which remains the highest percentage of the popular vote won by a candidate in the United States elections since 1820. The election is also remembered because of Goldwater's status as a pioneer in the conservative movement modern.
