The Republicans knew what they needed to make Reagan the choice of a majority of voters. Dominate the media (Carter was made to look pretty inept at the time. I remember that quite vividly), make a deal with the Ayatollahs not to release the hostages until after the election, it was a rather simple solution.

Incumbency is only an advantage if it is used properly (as Joe Biden has), AND an impartial press reports objectively. If the vast majority of the media has an agenda that includes the defeat of the incumbent president, the advantages of that incumbency diminish rapidly. It’s the old dilemma of a president putting together a project that cures cancer, and the press reporting: “President puts oncologists out of work.”
