Well 1972 was a wave year, and also the Dakotas used to be a bit more favorable to Democrats in terms of swings back in the day. Heck Dukakis was competitive in South Dakota in 1988 because of the farm crisis, and Clinton and Obama got within single digits of both Dakota states.

Carter arguably did better in rural areas nationally then any Democratic nominee before or since other then Bryan perhaps.

What about Wilson 1916, FDR 1932/1936, and Truman 1948? And Bryan got blown out in Northeast and Industrial Midwest rural areas, 1896 was more of a regional divide than a rural vs. urban divide.

Carter's appeal in the South extended somewhat to other rural traditionally Republican states.
