...what seemed the frantic secularism of the '60s, God's obituary was regularly published. But even then, God was never in extremis. According to a Gallup poll, which was examined last week by both clerics and politicians. Americans today display an extraordinary degree of religious faith-the highest among industrialized nations in the world. An overwhelming 94% of Americans say they believe in God, and 69% believe in life after death. Meanwhile, other advanced nations-notably Japan, France, West Germany and the Scandinavian countries-are rapidly growing more skeptical...
...building up his campaign staff, which will continue to be headed by Jordan and Press Secretary Jody Powell. Carter is worried about overexposure, but he will make several major speeches, hoping to burnish his public image so that he will appear more like a potential President. In a recent Gallup poll, he won a "highly favorable" reaction from only 25% of those questioned, compared with 22% each for Ford and Reagan. That contrasts with 47% for Dwight Eisenhower in 1952, 41% for John Kennedy in 1960, 59% for Lyndon Johnson in 1964 and 28% for Richard Nixon...
...Reagan against Carter, though neither Republican could beat him at the moment. A nationwide NBC poll taken June 10-11, just after the Super Bowl primaries, put Carter ahead of Ford by a staggering 52%-37% and in front of Reagan by an even greater 55%-32%. The latest Gallup pairing, taken in late May, had a similar result: Carter over Ford, 52%-40%, and trouncing Reagan 55%-37%. An earlier Harris survey also showed Carter beating Ford by smaller margins than he would top Reagan. Says California Pollster Mervin Field: "I'm hard-pressed to rate Carter worse...
...President remained calm. He seemed to snap back from his depression after losing Nebraska. "We've got to keep our cool," he told an agitated aide. Ford could still take heart from the latest Gallup poll, completed May 3, showing that Republicans favored him 60% to 35% over Reagan. The President was putting his faith in the basic instincts of Republicans when their hands were finally on the voting lever. Wild as they may be about Reagan, most Republicans know that they will probably have a better chance of winning in November with Ford...
...later in the night that Carter had been narrowly upset by Idaho Senator Frank Church in the Nebraska primary. Even with that setback Carter has won twelve of 17 primaries, drawn more than 4 million votes and locked well over 600 delegates (needed to nominate: 1,505). A recent Gallup poll showed rank-and-file Democrats prefer him to Humphrey by 39-30%; the remaining 27% favor other candidates. Democratic projections of where Carter will stand after the last primaries on June 8 give him from 1,000 to 1,300 delegates, v. fewer than...
