Never the less, Reagan was still 20+ points behind Carter at this point of the guessing game. But it does show that the media is still trying to stop the bleeding of their failed candidates so they can keep some air of importance to themselves.
Look at Michael Barone’s projection - he is an expert. He can’t figure a way Trump wins. I don’t know why anyone thinks Trump could win with a disapproval of 67% or so of all people and almost 40% of gop saying they would like a third party if Trump is the nominee. And DT is no Reagan. Reagan unified people. All Trump has done is divide us further.
White voters picked the president in 1980. Not so today. There just aren’t that many of them anymore. Heck Romney would have won in a Reagan-like landslide if 2012 USA had the same demographics as the 1980 version.
