In the national popular vote, Reagan received 58.8% to Mondale's 40.6%.
Reagan carried 49 of the 50 states, becoming only the second presidential candidate to do so after Richard Nixon's victory in the 1972 presidential election
Reagan's 525 electoral votes (out of 538) is the highest total ever received by a presidential candidate.
No candidate since then has managed to equal or surpass Reagan's 1984 electoral result.

Thread topic is the performance of presidential candidates. Reagan would have likely reached 51% in 1980 if not for John Anderson, who got 6.6% (Reagan got 50.7%). If you take his two runs together, Reagan's average was 54.7%. Obama's was 51.95%.
What you call "focus" I call "inability to see the big picture," aka "tunnel vision." This is a flaw of thought process, not a plus.
Obama: 1st President since Eisenhower to win 51% TWICE

For your benefit, I've copied the thread title to this post.
And yes, your tunnel vision is showing.
