Carter presented himself as a populist, perhaps better than any Democrat since 1948. This appealed to Midwestern farmers/small town folk. Carter's good fortunes even extended to Ford's home state of MI to some extent: in Lapeer and St. Clair counties (rural SE Mich) Carter improved enormously over Humphrey-McGovern and in Lapeer even held Ford to a lower percentage than Nixon '68.
