True, but Reagan got less than 51% of the vote in 1980, which certainly would not have been a landslide in a two person election, and he only got 254 of his EV by winning a majority of the vote in the States in question. (Reagan would still have won versus a combined Carter+Anderson, but not versus a combined everyone else.) Judging by the swing/trend for 1980, a solid majority of the 1980 Anderson voters were 1984 Mondale voters. With the exception of Utah, all of the States that actually swung Democratic in 1984 were ones that Anderson did better than average in. (Were Mormons voting against Carter in 1980 because he was a Southern Baptist?)
