...validity of any continued Hart candidacy thus rests on the theory that he has a better chance of defeating Reagan than does Mondale. Hart once commanded a surprising lead over Mondale in polls pairing the two against Reagan. Hart actually led Reagan last March in a Gallup poll, 52% to 43%, while Mondale trailed the President, 45% to 50%. Recent poll readings are less definitive. The latest Gallup findings, taken early in May, show Reagan leading Mondale by 50% to 46% while the President edges Hart by 49% to 45%.

Despite his long string of defeats (broken only by a narrow, 45% to 40%, victory in Arizona last week), Hart continues to argue that he is more electable against Ronald Reagan in November. A mid-March Gallup poll backed up his claim, showing that Hart would beat Reagan, 49% to 47%, while Mondale would lose, 52% to 44%.

They doubt he can reach much beyond a core of 40% of the electorate, the old Democratic coalition of the poor, labor and minorities that worked for him in New York. Last week a Gallup poll showed Reagan's approval rating at 55% nationwide...
...despair about the U.S. is ridiculous. The material and professional attainments of the Democratic candidates disprove their own notions of national despondency. As they have searched for dark corners over the past months, often dominating the public dialogue, the American people were quietly going in the opposite direction. George Gallup a few days ago released a survey concluding that "the mood of the nation today is the brightest it has been in five years, with 50% now saying they are satisfied with the way things are going in the nation, compared with only 26% who felt this...
