Reagan Democrats were Democrats who voted for Ronald Reagan in the 1980 and 1984 presidential elections. Most were working men and women who had come to feel that the Democratic party was no longer championing them,but favored blacks instead. They blamed incumbent Democrat Jimmy Carter for the economic recession and foreign policy humiliations of the late 1970s.
