Reagan came within 0.18% of winning all 50 states in 1984. The only state he lost was Minnesota, his opponent's home state, and he lost it by just under 4,000 votes.
525-13 is still the biggest electoral landslide in history.

And yet he didn't clear 60% of the pop vote.
It's amazing how split the country is and has been.
Reagan got the economy going and union workers still voted Dem. Check out the Iron Range.

But yeah the ‘84 Olympics had a lot to do with Reagan winning like that. The USA won the most medals ever at that time and it was held in Los Angeles
