10. What hurt Carter

was the failure of the attempted rescue mission. It tied in nicely with the GOP's talking point about Democrats being soft on defense, and having cut back on defense spending.

Also, Carter's human rights criticisms of the Shah of Iran was a contributing factor in Khomeni's rise to power.

All those things did combine to do him in.

Even Shrub kept his popularity until dragging us into Iraq on the false charge of WMD.
