Definitely. As Rochambeau said earlier, Reagan's landslide victory is probably mostly due to the Carter-Reagan debate. Before that it was a tossup and I think Carter even led in some polls. But in that debate (the only time Carter and Reagan engaged in a debate), that one quote turned the race from a tossup to a decisive Reagan lead instantly, and it soon ended up a 10 point lead in the popular vote (Reagan won 41-51).
