        2. You could maybe include JQ Adams 1824-28, but he didn't totally have a real party yet. Note how rare this is - the Whigs had their presidents die, Polk left voluntarily, the two 19th century periods were seesaws.

        the republican white house rule from 1968 to 1992 is extremely impressive. two 49-state wins, two more pop vote landslides, two more electoral landslides, and the only loss was in 1976 as a referendum on the most publicly disgraceful scandal in us executive history

        Polk situation a bit different from the rest since he didn't run for re-election.

        Really, the Whigs lost the presidency the moment Harrison died in 1841. Tyler was a WINO (Whig in name only) and was soon read out of the party by the congressional Whigs.

        Yeah, but in both cases, the party'd already had the White House for 8-12 years.

        Perhaps Johnson in 1868 also. Lincoln ran as the National Union candidate in 1864, and the party no longer existed in 1868. Neither the Democrats nor the Republicans nominated Johnson. Depends on whether National Union = Republican in your view.
