In fact, Carter missed California and Oregon by very few points.

The country was also trending GOP in the mid/late 70s.  Watergate, and the fact that Carter was from the Deep South, temporarily messed up the political trends in 1976.  The West was particularly moving to the right, which became even more obvious in 1980.

Wrong. California only trended GOP in 1980 because of home state effect, and then West coast heavily trended dem during all the period.
