One week out from the 1980 presidential election, then-President Jimmy Carter and then-candidate Ronald Reagan participated in the only debate of the election cycle.
Carter was trailing by a few percentage points at the time, but most pundits were calling the race “too close to call.” During the debate, Reagan famously asked voters a pivotal question: “Are you better off today than you were four years ago?”
The following week, Reagan won the election by a landslide.
