Yes. That was the election Nixon was actively cheating in, given that the Watergate commission was able to trace it right up to the president.
From Wiki, sadly: “President Richard Nixon, who is criticized in the song, won a landslide reelection in 1972, which included winning the 1972 United States presidential election in Ohio by a margin of over 21%.”

You can’t gerrymander the presidential election. There are no districts in that election.
You can however influence it with bribes, coercion, and intimidation.
