No, but we were in line to get gas, inflation was at 12%, mortgage rates were damn near 18%,our nation was being held hostage by Iran, and our military could not find a dozen helicopters, there was no money to fix our warships and military hardware, let alone put gas in them, unemployment was in the double digits... do I need to continue?
Reagan took 49 states in the election.

Not to get too serious, because I was half-heartedly joking about it not mattering because as bad as it was back in the Carter days, no one was bussing illegal voters around to battle ground states back then and so as bad as it gets, Biden will win the election anyway, but since you brought it up, you are actually making the case that Biden isn’t as bad as Carter was. I forgot how bad things were back then. We have inflation now, and we have relatively high interest rates, but unemployment isn’t bad and we don’t have food and gas lines. Also, not to be a debbie doubter, but besides election fraud, we have a divided country now. At least half of the country are NPCs, ‘woke’ and pre-programmed to vote a certain way. Let me know if you disagree, but I actually think people were more intellectually honest and had better critical thinking skills back in the 70s. In other words, they were capable of rejecting a president over terrible performance then.
