On the presidential bid Reagan 1976 Republican bid probably kept the Republican party from losing big that year , and once Ford lost there was nobody in the Republican Party to stop Reagan from winning the nomination.
Then the main thing is in 1980 you had double digit unemployment , double digit inflation, 20+% interest rates, the Iran hostage crises , and communism seemingly on the rise was on people's minds way more then watergate and that resulted in Reagan winning easily.
In congressional level it did hurt them medium term as the 1974 midterm wipeout gave the Democrats control of the house for another 20 years.
