IIRC a lot of people thought 1980 would be a lot closer than it actually turned out to be, so probably two or three states there. Arkansas is certainly one that comes to mind.

Isn't Indiana 2008 the obvious answer here?

Pretty sure most news networks had it technically rated as a toss-up, but yeah, basically everyone initially thought McCain would win it in the end.
