...some poll had Reagan even losing his own state California Primary!

Another blast from the past, Sept. 14, 1979 Field poll in Reagan's own state of California:

KENNEDY SWAMPS REAGAN AND ANY OTHER CANDIDATE IN CURRENT TESTS OF STRENGTH. CARTER ABOUT EVEN WITH REAGAN BUT TRAILS FORD

"When matched in a trial heat against the leading GOP presidential contender Ronald Reagan, [Ted] Kennedy has a 29 point bulge over the former Governor (63% to 34%) among potential California voters."

In the same California poll Reagan had a 1 point lead over Carter 48-47.

In looking back at that period, I sometimes think we're in a time warp...LOL.
