...election was close largely because so many voters were worried about taking a chance on Carter. After all of the national debates, after all the articles about his life and policies, the people still felt that there was some unexposed dimension about him. Says Public Opinion Analyst Daniel Yankelovich: "In the preWatergate, pre-Viet Nam era, the people were more willing to take a chance. Now they have indeed taken that chance, but by the slimmest of margins?and with enormous reservations...
...that made Carter's march north from Georgia feasible. Carter does not end up as a figure who is very popular nationally; though he received 52% of the vote in the East, he lost the Midwest (49%) and the West (46.8%). It was also, for America, notes Pollster Daniel Yankelovich, an election that fractured to a marked degree along the fault line separating the haves and havenots.

Making his presence felt has never been a problem for the blustery onetime bartender who lived in New York City's Hell's Kitchen, made his way to Harvard, became one of the nation's leading urbanologists, served four Presidents, and fulminated against the Arabs and the Third World as U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Democrat Moynihan won over softspoken, engaging Republican-Conservative James Buckley, who leaves the Senate...
...Moynihan-with his long forelock that seems forever (and designedly) askew, his cherubic face, well-upholstered 6 ft. 4 in. frame and congenital inability to resist controversy-he can be counted upon to enliven the Senate with rhetorical flourishes worthy of such famous orators as Daniel Webster or even Everett Dirksen...
