Progressive base growing not shrinking...

The trend looks pretty good when you look at things this way

1980	Jimmy Carter	41%		vs. Reagan+Anderson	57%
1984	Walter Mondale	41%		vs. Ronald Reagan	59%
1988	Michael Dukakis	46%		vs. George HW Bush	53%
1992	Bill Clinton	43%		vs Bush+Perot	56%
1996	Bill Clinton	49%		vs Dole+Perot	49%
1992	Gore+Nader	49%		vs George W Bush	48%
1992	Kerry+Nader	49%		vs George W Bush	51%

Just some over-reach in the administration away from a majority.
