...thus close to agreeing with the line pushed hard by the far left, that it is the entire system, the Establishment and all its works, that is to blame for whatever is wrong in the U.S. Most of the public appears to agree, at least about politics. In a Gallup poll taken just after the President's TV talk, 58% of the respondents said that there was little difference between the corruption of the Nixon Administration and that of other Administrations in the last 25 years. People who were queried last week voiced similar viewpoints. Said Mrs. James Aycock...
THREE in ten people who were questioned in the latest Gallup poll said that the Watergate affair made them less likely than before to vote for a Republican in next year's congressional elections. But while Watergate has generally hurt the G.O.P., it has had varying effects on individual Republicans and Democrats, pushing some up, some down.

Nixon now stands guilty in many minds until...
...knows, moreover, that front runners for the presidency are especially vulnerable to attack. So he is more than willing to lie low for a time. A Gallup poll taken last month showed that Spiro Agnew was the top choice among Republicans, with 35%. Reagan came next (20%), while Connally was third (15%). As time goes by, Connally's standing could easily rise. There have been tantalizing hints that he is Nixon's first choice. Though his Texas wheeler-dealer image may hurt him a bit because of the public revulsion over Watergate, he is at least as forceful...
