![Vote 1984](vote1984.png)
President Ronald Reagan benefitted
heavily from a robust economy following the recession of the late
1970s. Reagan therefore entered the 1984 election heavily favored to
win. The Democrats nominated former Vice-President Walter Mondale to
oppose Reagan. Mondale campaigned on raising taxes to close the
budget deficit. He also chose the first woman to run on a major
party ticket - Representative Geraldine Ferraro of New York. Reagan
campaigned on the idea that economic growth, and not tax increases,
would lead to a lower deficit. He promised to raise taxes as his
last option for reducing the deficit. Mondale criticized Reagan for
helping the rich at the expense of the poor. But Reagan reminded
people that they were better off than they were four years prior. Voters agreed with Reagan, and he was
re-elected easily, winning 49 states. Reagan came within just under
4,000 votes of being the only President in history to carry all 50
states!
