Ford certainly was in a pickle after the Nixon pardon. Looking at the statistics though, I’m shocked it was close as it was but I wasn’t around in ‘76.

Carter/Ford was the first election I could vote in. It was close because a significant portion of the country still thought Nixon had been railroaded and Ford was seen as a decent kind of guy
