That's true for almost every election since 1980 (minus 2020)
The "stiff", the "suit", the "bore" vs: which candidate would be more fun to drink a beer with? Which candidate has more fun on stage? Who has more charisma? Who has more "personality"?
2024 Trump over Kamala
2020 Biden over Trump -- most personality contest
2016 Trump over Hilary
2012 Obama over Romney
2008 Obama over McCain -- McCain wasn't too bad, but Obama was great
2004 Bush over Kerry
2000 Bush over Gore (the bore)
1996 Clinton over Dole
1992 Clinton over Bush
1988 Bush over Dukakis -- most boring contest
1984 Reagan over Mondale
1980 Reagan over Carter
