I remember 1980, and there was no indication, at least according to the MSM at the time, that Reagan would win in a landslide.
agreed....I did remember thinking, “Reagan might actually win!”
lol, wow understatement!
There was no social media either. Americans vote for someone not against someone.
Actually, the polls did not pick up the ‘Reagan Democrats,’ especially the union households who would not be honest in a poll because many polls were commissioned by the unions.
