...polls support these visceral sentiments. According to a recent Gallup survey. Muskie was the strongest of any Democratic candidate running against Ford. In spite of (or perhaps because of) Muskie's reluctance to run, he almost beat Ford in a recent Gallup poll, losing by less than five percentage points. Within the Democratic Party, too, Muskie has received strong support, especially considering the number of candidates (31 in the latest Gallup poll) with which the non-candidate from Maine has had to compete. Meanwhile, Muskie has retained a low negative rating, proving more acceptable to both Democrats and Independents than...

We can see it in such areas of society as disenchanted students, angry congressmen, disappointed parents, Gallup polls, etc. The professor sees it in shrinking grants, criticism from know-nothing politicians, nasty radicals who are rude about the rules of scholarship, etc. I have always found that the other side of a giant, arrogant ego is a painful desire to be petted and stroked. Where else would that apply...
