In a snap poll by Yankelovich, 33% rated Carter the winner, 26% Ford, and 41% called it a tossup.

Va., the voices of these politicians were heard in the land. Millions of the words are broadcast and printed each day, but after Viet Nam, Watergate and years of governmental corruption, the American electorate in campaign year 1976 is not satisfied with words. Millions of people have tuned out completely. But the earnest and concerned Americans who will turn out on Nov. 2 to choose not only...
