Which is stronger and more powerful, landslide victory or overwhelming victory?

It seems either can be stronger. I am not sure.

=======================
For some people, a landslide victory is synonymous to an overwhelming victory, but there is no consensus on how wide a margin is necessary for an overwhelming or lopsided victory to signify a landslide. In this usage, there is no inherent shift from one side to the other, i.e., no change in the landscape.

You've answered your own question: there's no consensus.
 
It's not a good question. Don't try to compare them.
 
Which is stronger and more powerful - "a landslide victory" or "an overwhelming victory"?

Don't forget to mark out the words you're asking us about in some way. I have used quotation marks. You could use italics or bold.
