To many voters in 1980, ronald reagan, in contrast to jimmy carter, seemed:
a. indecisive.
b. capable of getting congress to pass a liberal reform program.
c. humorless.
d. to be a deep thinker and expert on the details of policy.
e. upbeat
They found him to be cheerful and optimistic which was much better than Carter who was thought by many to be incompetent because of the way he dealt with the Iran affair and the Shah. This enabled Reagan to have an easy victory and create a legacy.
