I think Mondale would have done better than in 1984. How much better I can't say.
The country is much more polarized now than then, and Bush certainly could not have won the type of support that Reagan did.
I think Mondale would have done somewhat worse than Kerry, but there are certain states like New York, Massachusetts, etc. that would vote for a dead man on the Democratic ticket and Mondale would win these states.
He's too liberal, but then so was Kerry. He's also too old, which Kerry wasn't. I'd say Mondale would win Minnesota, much of the northeast, maybe California and Washington, and that's about it.
