Someone from Washtenaw County MI (home to Ann Arbor). Was a student at University of Michigan in 1972, anti-war, voted McGovern. In 1980, a middle class married man with kids, voted Reagan. The county was McGovern-Reagan.
I also imagine that, while D-leaning voters nationwide were substantially more likely than the other way around to pick Nixon over McGovern in 1972 and then pick Mondale over Reagan in 1984, vice versa may have been the case for liberal college kids considering that 72 Nixon was much "meaner" than McGovern whereas Reagan was no less "nice" (if not even "nicer") than Mondale.
