EDIT:

[Correlation vs. Causation Argument - I'm not saying this is guaranteed to be correlation, although my title is a little incendiary. Finding scientific rigorous correlation is nigh impossible with any social science due to all the factors that are at play. The best we can do is look at the evidence that we DO have. We can look at things such as the average height of a fortune 500 CEO (6'2") or the average height of the pres. (5'11"), average height of a CEO in general (5'11") while the average is (5'9"), is strong enough evidence that its pretty much undisputed in behavioral psychology that height matters CONSIDERABLY in our perception of leaders.

Whether the % that being taller decides is exactly 67% or +/- that, we'd need an infinite sample set to know for sure. But the evidence indicates at the moment that height does indeed play a role in getting elected.]

What physical trait has been winning elections for President since the 60's?

Height. The taller man has won 67% of all elections.
