Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 April 2015
Extract
Most political analysts failed to predict that the election of 1980 would be close; few foresaw the landslide that would bring major changes in the policy-making machinery. The results surprised almost everyone. Ronald Reagan carried all but 6 states, and the Republicans won the Senate for the first time in a quarter century. The balance of power in the House of Representatives also shifted toward the conservatives—Republicans gained 33 seats.
