Street,

Carter's public support dove after the helicopter crash during the Iran rescue attempt. Nevertheless, Reagan wasn't very popular either. Anderson took a lot of Carter's votes on election day.

During the campaign most polls showed the two major candidates locked in an even contest. The election produced a different picture. The Republican team of Ronald Reagan and George BUSH was swept into office in a landslide victory with about 51% of the popular vote (and 489 electoral votes) to Carter's 42% (49 electoral votes) and Anderson's 7%
