...nation's top pollsters have much the same point. Addressing the G.O.P. Governors in Memphis last week, George Gallup said that the Republican Party was in the worst shape since he began polling in 1935. If the 1974 midterm elections were held today, he continued, so many Republicans would lose that the President could no longer expect his vetoes to be sustained in Congress. Louis Harris has reported that the Democrats would win the elections by as much as 53% to 31%. Watergate, said Harris, is further eroding the already shrunken Republican Party, which now makes up only...
...President's Gallup rating can fluctuate as much as the Dow Jones. He may push unpopular programs or oppose popular ones. Being a political as well as a national leader, he may dissemble within more or less accepted political limits. His Administration may be touched by corruption, provided that he does not condone it. He may make mistakes, many of them. He may fight the other branches of Government, for this is sometimes necessary to get things done.

...Nixon cannot disown Agnew without further angering the conservatives in both parties. A Gallup poll last week showed that only 32% of the nation approved of the way that the President was handling his job, a drop of 6% since the Agnew case erupted and only 1% above his low mark during the depths of Watergate. And a Harris poll reported that 51% of the American people feel that Congress would be justified in beginning impeachment proceedings against the President if he refused a court order to turn over the Watergate tapes to a panel of judges...
Both Connally and Goldwater agreed that Watergate's repercussions were wider than the G.O.P. Wrote the Arizona Senator: "The reverberations of scandal and corruption will shoot through both major parties and create real trouble for incumbents." A Gallup poll found that while voter identification with the Republican Party has dropped four points since the 1972 election, to 24%, those who said they were Democrats has stayed at 43%. The only increase has been among those who consider themselves members of neither party...
