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?

At this early stage, most experts rate Ford ahead in all states but those with large concentrations of conservative voters, notably Arizona, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Nevada and Oklahoma. Nationwide, a Gallup poll of 339 Republicans found Ford ahead of Reagan, 58% to 36%. But that poll was taken just before Ford's Cabinet shakeup, and the situation could easily change. Indeed, an NBC telephone poll of 245 Republicans just after the shake-up gave Reagan 44%, Ford 43%. Says...
Before President Ford's speech two weeks ago rejecting federal aid to New York City, a Gallup poll showed that 42% of the public favored such assistance, while 49% were opposed. But a nationwide survey conducted by the New York Times and CBS after the speech indicated a turnaround: 55% of those polled approved of aid and 33% did not. A Harris poll revealed that the American people favor federal loan guarantees by a margin of 69% to 18% -if the city "balances its budget and such a plan would not cost the taxpayers any actual money."
