...that pretty much leaves the man in Saigon-Ambassador Lodge. His chances were looking up in Oregon (see following story), and his popularity elsewhere was indicated by a Gallup Poll that last week matched him against Nixon, found that 57% favored Lodge, 36% Nixon, with 7% undecided. Because many Republican professionals are less than fond of him, and because of his identification with the stalemated war in South Viet Nam, Lodge may not last the full course. But so far, he is the G.O.P. phenomenon...
Last week the Gallup poll reported that Lodge, stuck in Saigon, is the first choice of U.S. Republican voters. This was in sharp contrast to a similar poll taken before Lodge ran away with the New Hampshire primary on March 10. Then Lodge rated a poor third, behind former Vice President Richard Nixon and Arizona's Senator Barry Goldwater. The latest Gallup findings...
...power as two party hopefuls battle to win his support. "There is nothing like a dirty, lowdown political fight to put the roses in your cheeks," snaps Tracy with cantankerous glee. The candidates before him are Cliff Robertson, a cutthroat crusader who adapts his convictions to the latest Gallup surveys, and Henry Fonda, the idealistic egghead. Fonda lacks the cheek, magnetism, and driving ambition to make his bid for high office seem more than perfunctory. Thus when Robertson threatens to release a medical report showing that Fonda once had a mental breakdown and is a habitual philanderer, it is obvious...
While many analysts had seen Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge's write-in victory as a deathly blow to Barry Goldwater's hopes for the G.O.P. nomination, the Gallup Poll indicated that the obits were premature. A post-New Hampshire nationwide poll of 1,840 Republican county chairmen-the hardcore politicians who either go, or help name most of the delegates, to national conventions-showed that Barry is still the favorite. The chairmen rated Richard Nixon as Goldwater's closest competitor. The tabulation...
...even begins. A few judicious pats on the right Congressional elbows, combined with some enthusiastic public statements about the need for foreign aid, could make the difference. If Kennedy with his narrow 1960 victory fresh in Congressional minds could do it in 1961, Johnson with his 70 per cent Gallup ratings can certainly do it in 1964. It is only a question of will...
