Reagan’s opposer, Walter Mondale, had very radical ideas, one of them being to raise taxes. Generally, Mondale had one of the worst campaigns, possibly worse than McGovern. Eventually, it got so bad that even some of Mondale’s supporters wanted to vote for Reagan. According to an exit poll, at least 26% of pro-Mondale voters voted for Reagan. These people were known as “Reagan Democrats”. Mondale ended up only winning his home state (Minnesota) and District of Columbia, totaling up to only 13 electoral votes out of the 538.

It didn’t help Mondale that his VP pick (Geraldine Ferraro) kept getting investigated (along with her husband) for tax evasion
