    Ronald Reagan was immensely popular, even with some liberal voters.

      Well, he was an actor. That helps with popularity in a setting where appearances are generally more important than substance

      He was very popular which made him that much more dangerous. His trickle down economics lie has done more to destroy the US economy than just about anything else. To this day there’s still people who feel it’s a viable model despite nearly half a century now of showing it doesn’t work. He and Nancy Reagan are also responsible for continuing the culture war against minorities that Nixon started.
