Evaluations of the debate followed endlessly. What were the issues in the debates, and how far did these affect the final decision of American voters about their choices in November? Dr. George Gallup, in his comprehensive and scholarly poll found that most Americans were evenly divided as to who they thought won the debates. He also found that the main issue on which Americans thought they could and should make their decision in view of the debates, was essentially which candidate had a more typical upbringing for an American boy to admire and which man used more "homey" language, filled...
...Gallup made lengthy conclusions about this striking phenomenon. He first recognized that Americans would often be listening directly to the president, as they had in the debates, and that because of this fact the debates had been helpful in allowing all Americans to choose the man they wanted to have to listen to for the next four years, maybe eight...
...York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Michigan, Ohio and Illinois are convinced that Nixon's appeal among non-Republicans would be weaker than Rocky's, which might cost the party heavily in contests at other levels.

If I could get into the lead in the stretch, believe me, that would be tremendously helpful." In Maine, he reminded audiences that he had been born in Bar Harbor and cried...
...Gallup sent his hopes soaring, a notable defection from liberal Republican ranks brought them back to earth. To the astonishment of Rocky-among others-Oregon's dovish Senator Mark Hatfield announced his endorsement of Nixon, who has plainly labeled himself a hawk on Viet Nam. After a long talk with the former Vice President in Manhattan, Hatfield emerged to declare that he would "actively seek support" for Nixon as a man who could "successfully resolve the Viet Nam conflict." Rockefeller minced no words when he heard of the turnabout. "It means that Mark Hatfield has betrayed his own integrity...
