...population-could be an extremely potent force. "The group is so big that it represents a real opportunity for a candidate or even a whole party to create an entirely new governing coalition with as much stability as the old New Deal coalition," says Republican Pollster Robert Teeter, who predicts that such a voting bloc could last for 30 years...
...questioner may seem to be exposing Reagan's unfamiliarity with a subject, but should he press too hard, Reagan, with a gesture or a light remark, will suddenly seem to win the exchange. The impressionism of television is what makes it so powerful and unaccountable. Robert M. Teeter, who polls for Republicans, once carried out an experiment with two groups of ten and twelve people. He showed them a brief bit of videotape of politicians they did not know. The sound was off; the candidate was seen campaigning, shaking hands. Viewers were then asked to judge whether they found...

Some analysts are even predicting a 40-seat gain. Any figure in that range would be a major rejection of the President's policies and make it almost impossible for the Administration to push any new economic initiatives through Congress. Democrats would then finally be forced to offer their own alternative budget and tax priorities in conjunction with the moderate Republican leadership in the Senate. Reagan's substantial defense-spending...
