Ideally your supply air is ~ 55-60 deg in cooling. My own system generally has colder supply air, but most of my ducts are within conditioned space and have minimal leakage, so that makes a difference. My return temperature is also ~72 deg which makes a difference. Your return air is likely picking up heat before it reaches the blower and could be closer to 80 deg.
