Landslide victories do not guarantee that Congress will be of the same party and therefore can prevent continued success by the President. 

These presidents were reelected due to the trust Americans had in them to get the country through a tough time. FDR--Great Depression, LBJ--assassination of JFK, Nixon--Vietnam/activism, and Reagan--recession. However, Congress was not in their favor to continue the policies they had been using in their first terms. On that note, these were all 2nd term (LBJ was technically first election but had served two years already) elections where the president had gained the approval of the people. 
All faced increased adversity as well after the landslide victory. FDR--recession and WWII begins, LBJ--entry into Vietnam, Nixon--Watergate, and Reagan--stock market crash.

sweet [91]

Answer:  How did the US and Soviet Union confront each other around the world during the Cold War? ... The US supported the invasion of Cuba and blockaded Cuba in order to get the Soviets to remove nuclear missiles. The US followed the policy of containment, which was a strategy to keep communism from spreading.  The United States government was initially hostile to the Soviet leaders for taking Russia out of World War I and was opposed to a state ideologically based on communism. ... However, the Soviet stance on human rights and its invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 created new tensions between the two countries. How were the United States and the Soviet Union alike during the Cold War? ... The greatest difference between the two countries was simply that American citizens generally thrived because of free market economic policy, whereas Russians suffered under the inefficiencies of their command economy.
