Here's the Breakdown:

Reagan/Bush: 324 Electoral votes
Carter/Mondale: 168 Electoral Votes
Anderson/Lucey: 46 Electoral votes

How did you figure this out anyhow?

I just assumed our percentages for the national election, and then assumed a uniform swing all over the country, using the 1980 stats on this site. So if Anderson gets 32% here, compared to 7% in real life, I add 25 points to his vote total in in every state, and do the same changes for Reagan and Carter and sees who wins.

With the poll being a tie between Carter and Reagan, Carter wins!



Carter: 297

Reagan: 241

The same as in 1976. Smiley But with some differences in the states.
