...crises have eroded support for incumbents in elective office and for the traditional parties. A recent Gallup poll found 34% of those surveyed identifying themselves as independents, up eight points since 1970. Yet, far from turning voters off, the nation's problems have dramatically increased public interest in local politics...
...Heath deferred his decision for another go-round at a settlement with the miners-and with good reason. British voters are about evenly divided between the country's two major parties, and there was no certainty that Heath's Tories could pull off a victory. The latest Gallup poll last week in fact gave Labor 42%% of the vote to the Tories 39%%. That was a reversal of January's poll, when the Tories led Labor by 40% to 38%. Said the Opinion Research Center's Chairman T.F. Thompson: "Public opinion has never been more volatile...
...would have proved his involvement in the coverup. A year ago, the idea of impeaching the President was anathema to great numbers of Americans. There remains a nagging reluctance to get rid of him, but the public has moved considerably closer to sanctioning this momentous step.

...Harris Survey indicated that Operation Candor had been a dismal flop. Despite it, Nixon had skidded to a low point in popularity: only 30% of the public found his job performance acceptable.

A Gallup poll also showed Nixon slipping again; his approval rating fell two points to match his alltime low of 27% last October after the Saturday Night Massacre. Ominously for Nixon, both polls reflected opinion samplings taken before last week's report on the tape...
Sagan's enthusiasms are widely accepted in the U.S., even by people who have never heard of him. California beach blonds zip the freeways, sporting bumper stickers like: FLYING SAUCERS ARE REAL. The Gallup poll reports that 51% of the American people believe in UFOS. Even the fusty National Academy of Sciences was led recently to admit that contact with other civilizations "is no longer something beyond our dreams but a natural event in the history of mankind that will perhaps occur in the lifetime of many...
