...York Times Magazine and countless political journals. When the media discovered George Bush, so did the people. The fallout from the Iowa publicity has been a meteoric rise in the polls. A Newsweek poll conducted a week before the caucuses showed Reagan annihilating Bush, 45-6 per cent nationwide. Two weeks later, with the caucus history, a second poll showed Bush trailing Reagan 36-27. In what many believe to be strong Reagan country, a Boston Globe poll shows a one per cent Bush lead in New Hampshire. The Reagan camp has shifted gears, but many think it may already...
...Brown caravan has attracted little interest this time around. Brown organizers had visions of college students abandoning their studies, boarding the buses and heading to Manchester for the winter. A nice dream, but it hasn't happened. Brown's late effort in the Maine caucuses brought him 13 per cent of the Democratic vote. Supporters say he's got to pull at least that much in tomorrow's contest. But the latest Boston Globe poll finds the California governor a distant third with a measly 6 per cent. It is time, as the Brown people will tell us Wednesday morning...

In 1976, a cocky Jimmy Carter gathered a meager 14 per cent in a heavy snowstorm to finish behind Henry Jackson, George Wallace, and Mo Udall. Two years later, liberal Governor Michael S.

With a mere 20 per cent of the voters marking Republican ballots in '76, GOP candidates aren't likely to sink many hard-won dollars into a media blitz this year. If Bush wins (and with his well-oiled Massachusetts campaign machinery, he could capture 35 per cent of the vote), the victory will simply help him shift into higher gear and take in more contributions from his increasing number of college-educated, upper-income supporters. Others can write off the state beforehand and blame Bush's Andover and Yale backgroung for a strong New England showing...
Almost 70 per cent of students, and a plurality of the city, registered as Independents, something of a surprise in a district long regarded as lock, stock and barrel Democratic. And hundreds more students and other residents switched their registration from Democrat to Independent...
