I think it's feasible to argue that that is a major reason why Nixon was elected in '68....because the majority of the country had grown to despise the LBJ-Hubert Humphrey government, and not necessarily because they preferred the former Vice President. And one could argue the same for Carter in '76 because of the lingering disgust over Watergate and Ford's pardon of Nixon.

Yep.
Anybody but Obama is the prevailing thought, and this election, with regard to popularity, could be even more lopsided than Reagan/Carter.
