What did Americans think of Trickle Down Economics and Ronald Reagan at the time?

Reagan was re-elected by winning 49 states. (He lost only Minnesota, home state of his opponent. Reagan said he did not campaign there, as it was not kind.)

Make no mistake-- Americans heartily approved of the way the country was run. It lasted even one more election, as the older George Bush (Reagan's vice president) won.

Then the economy soured briefly and Bill Clinton swept into office. Clinton ran the economy well, too, which was another age of prosperity.
