Both Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon won 49 states (Reagan in 1984 and Nixon in 1972), with their Democratic challenger both only winning one state and the District of Columbia. No president has won all 50 states.
George Washington is the only President of the United States to have been elected unanimously twice by the electoral college in 1788 and in 1792.
In those days there were no real political parties, it was mainly Pro-States Rights politicians (mostly from the south) led by Thomas Jefferson, and Federalist politicians (mainly from the north) led by John Adams. In time these would become the Democratic and Federalist Parties. Washington was put in charge of the army because he was the only military man every politician could agree upon, and when it came time to elect the President, with Washington having saved our hides, it made sense he would be someone everyone back then could agree would make a good President.
For the record, Washington was mostly pro-Federalist, which is why Thomas Jefferson began building a rival political party, and America has never looked back.
George Washington was elected unanimously twice, so he carried all ten of the states that voted in 1789 and all 15 states in 1792.
James Monroe carried all 24 states in 1820.
Franklin D. Roosevelt carried 46 out of 48 states in 1936, losing only Maine and Vermont to Alf Landon, and Ronald Reagan carried 49 out of 51 "states" in 1984; Walter Mondale won only his home state of Minnesota and D.C., which has always voted Democratic.
George Washington-he received 100% of the electoral votes.
