landsliding
Hillside giving way
Landsliding is the present participle of landslide used as a verb, meaning to win an election or contest by an overwhelming margin.
The incumbent is landsliding to victory in every poll.
The term derives from the noun landslide, which originally described a mass of earth or rock sliding down a slope, but now more commonly refers to a decisive electoral victory.
Landsliding emphasizes the ongoing or imminent nature of such a dominant win.
