Reagan Democrat is an American political saying that was used by analysts showing how Democratic voters would support Republican President Ronald Reagan rather than Jimmy Carter or Walter Mondale.[1] This was said during both the 1980 and 1984 elections. It is also used for George H. W. Bush in the 1988 election.
