...withdrawal, Alabama Republicans claimed, with some justification, that Goldwater would not only carry the state but would carry some Republican Congressmen along with him. In Mississippi, Tom Garrott, a longtime member of the state Demo cratic executive committee, began cranking up a Democrats-for-Goldwater movement. Throughout the South, Gallup and Harris polls agreed, a Wallace candidacy would have cost Goldwater 12% of the vote, Johnson...
...even as the Goldwater strategists coasted on the assumption that Barry had the nomination sewed up, there were indications that other pragmatic politicians viewed a Goldwater candidacy as doomed to defeat in November. One Gallup poll showed that 73% of Republican and Democratic county chairmen believed that Johnson would beat Goldwater, while only 27% foresaw a Goldwater victory.

Earlier polls had shown that one of Scranton's greatest handicaps was that he was not broadly known across the U.S. But this week Gallup released the results of a new poll that demonstrated how dramatically the Scranton campaign has changed that picture.

Such figures have fooled a lot of people into thinking that Goldwater was through. But no pollster has ever nominated a presidential candidate, and Goldwater has been and remains the favorite of G.O.P. professionals-the people who go to conventions...
