I mean Carter was even leading even in early October according to wikipedia past election polls , so did that many people really make up their minds in the last minute . Even the last poll shows reagan only winning by 3 points instead of the 10 points he won by. I mean even this year the polls were not as wrong as that .

Because it was a legitimately a close race, and Carter would've won had he bombed Iran.
