I omitted 1992 because of the obscuring Perot factor, the most consequential 3rd party candidacy since 1912. In looking for patterns, it helps to go back a bit further than the presidential year, since that election is often itself an outlier -- 1966 for the most part returns to 1962 and earlier, for example, as does 1982
