Given that Ford almost overcome 30 point deficit in summer, I'm sure he would have won if the campaign went on for another week. Too bad, he would have done a better job than Carter.

To be fair, 1976 was probably a poisoned chalice, & Carter was definitely dealt a bad hand: runaway inflation, soaring interest rates, fallout from the Arab oil embargo, the taking of hostages in Iran, etc.
