Carter won the first round ok, but at the end of his first term he had become not so popular.

"Reagan won the election, carrying 44 states with 489 electoral votes to 49 electoral votes for Carter.''

Didn't Reagan make it a second term after that? Why didn't Carter?

I thought we were talking about the middle class disappearing? As to Reagan, I've got nothing good to say.
