Scenario doesn't make sense.  You say Reagan still has high approval ratings yet loses states where Mondale barely got into the 30s.

Also, how would Mondale even make it past the Democratic Primary unopposed on 28% approval ratings when Johnson failed and Carter barely made it on approval ratings in the low 40s?

Reagan's "LOSS OF ABLENESS" due to old age, Mondale's youth, and the ongoing negative campaign from Walter Mondale.

Reagan was still sane in 1984 and how can he be vastly unpopular on Election Day and vastly popular on Inauguration Day?

I still don't see how about 40% of the country in 1988 (Democrats) could vote to make somebody with a 28% nationwide approval rating their nominee and call him "their best choice."

What is with this retarded love affair between the Democratic Party and the hated Mondale-Ferraro administration?

How do you have an approval rating of 72% against an opponent who was VP in an administration with an approval rating of 28% when it got kicked out and not manage to break 400 electoral votes?

Who knows...
