Who were the types of voters who stuck with the first of the two 49 state doomed Democrats but not the latter and vice versa?

The second one could definitely be someone who thought McGovern was too extreme and Nixon was a moderate enough incumbent, but then saw Reagan as too extreme and Mondale as a standard Democrat.

McGovern: White college students who were against the Vietnam War, in addition to the running mate candidate Sargent Shriver being linked to the Kennedy family, and who twelve years later was well off financially and had family and war was no longer a priority for them, like many in Massachusetts.


Mondale: Minnesota working-class whites who had already voted for Mondale on other occasions when he was a senator, state attorney general and Carter's VP, but who preferred Nixon in 1972 because they thought McGovern was too weak by Thomas Eagleton's exchange for Sargent Shriver and saw him as a radical leftist.

McGovern-Reagan voter:

- a very loyal ancestral D whose loyalty broke down late (Monroe County, MO for example, which had actually never voted for a Republican at any level of government until the 1976 Senate race)
- a very educated Massachusetts professor or something?
- some kind of weird edgy centrist-hater from 4chan with a time machine

Nixon-Mondale voter:
- Georgian who voted for Mondale because he was Carter's running mate
- Minnesotan who voted for Mondale because he was from Minnesota
- super-centrist who viewed McGovern and Reagan as too extreme

Nixon-Mondale: Rockefeller Republican environmentalist that despised Reagan's moves to do away with price controls.

McGovern-Reagan: Resource dependent D voter turned off by Carter's inept handling of the water sitch in The West.
