...latest Gallup poll shows Ford leading Reagan among Republican voters by 53% to 42%. In mid-December the two men were tied; in November, following Ford's abrupt shakeup of his Cabinet and Reagan's announcement of his candidacy, the former California Governor led, 40% to 32%, in a field...
...Obviously," she says, "the males of the country have overcome their fear of women in politics. Every success creates an aura of confidence for the next woman who tries it." (Women are also mayors of San Antonio, Oklahoma City, Wichita, Kans., Cincinnati and Lincoln, Neb.) Not long ago, a Gallup poll found that 73% of the American people would support a qualified woman running for President...
Ford's old congressional friends feared that the President was rapidly losing ground to Ronald Reagan in the race for the Republican nomination, and a Gallup poll released later in the week showed dramatically how right they were. The poll, taken in late November, reported that Reagan had actually passed Ford to become the favorite among Republican voters for the nomination by a margin of 40% to 32%.

With only 21% of the voters identifying themselves as Republicans in the Gallup poll, Mac Mathias is concerned that the G.O.P. may so narrow its base as to "sign its own death warrant." He sees himself as a "centrist" able to appeal to independents and middle-of-the-road voters disenchanted with both parties. But why not fight from within his own party for the nomination? Because that, he believes, would only pour "water on Reagan's wheel." The entrance of any moderate or liberal Republican would undoubtedly draw more G.O.P. votes away from Ford than Reagan, thus increasing...
