I can’t remember a single time the republican was expected to win, ever.

Reagan 84 was a foregone conclusion.

‘68, ‘72, ‘84, ‘88 and ‘04 were all years the Republican candidate was expected to win.

Me neither - Republican presidential candidates are always behind in the polls - my entire life. I was only about 15 when Reagan won for the second time in a huge landslide, but it seems that for months during the summer he was behind in the polls to Mondale.

I can’t remember a single time the republican was expected to win, ever. Reagan in '84. But I don't think anyone expected the beat down that Mondale/Ferraro took.
Perhaps Nixon in '72 as well.

Everyone expected Reagan to win in '84. The scale of the beatdown he gave Mondale was what was unexpected.
