Reagan received 50.7% of the popular vote; Carter received 41.0%. That's quite substantial, even considering that Anderson's 6.6% likely hurt Carter somewhat more than Reagan in the popular vote. And for the metric that actually matters, Reagan won 90.8% of the vote – a complete blowout.
Respectfully, I tried to be really polite about the claim you never cited and never answered for, but I take offense at being called "mixed up" about electoral history by someone who baselessly posits that "a lot" of Americans in 1980 gave enough of a shit about Carter's foreign policy toward South Africa to make them reluctant to vote for him.
Have a nice day
