It was not that common (22%) compared to Dems who voted for Nixon in '72 (an unheard of 37%) or Reagan (about 26% both in '80 and '84). Dems in 1976 were still a bit more likely to self-identify as conservative than as liberal, and many lived in the South.
On the other hand, most liberal Republicans (that was still a thing in '76) voted for Ford, and many later left the party and/or started voting Dem (especially starting in 1992).
