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.

Arkansas, Alabama, and Louisiana were all thought to be relatively secure for Carter in 1980.

Didn't Ohio lean Democrat in 1960? I remember reading somewhere that one of the first questions JFK asked Nixon after the election was how did he win Ohio.

Wisconsin was also.supppsed to go to Kennedy in 1960.  Texas was thought to be leaning Nixon even with LBJ on the ticket.
