Was the 1980 Presidential Election expected to be closer than it was? I found this picture showing Reagan with a 3 point lead over Carter in November.





This is what that November poll would have looked like if that was the case IRL.



Reagan - 47% (-4)  308
Carter -   44% (+3)  230
Anderson - 8% (+1)

More curiously, what would have a June poll looked like, with Anderson still at his peak, but Reagan ahead of Carter.
Take the map I posted above and switch LA, MI, and VT.


Anderson comes in second place in a few plains states.
