Kemp's negative TV ads have done the most to get him back in the race. He shot up to 15% in a Gallup poll of New Hampshire Republicans after running an ad painting Bush and Dole as closet advocates of higher taxes.

According to Health Secretary Bowen, alcohol is the culprit in 40% of family-court cases and accounts for between 25% and 50% of violence...
...evidence that readers agree came last week, when the Times Mirror company published the latest installment of its "People, Press & Politics" survey. Two-thirds of the 1,501 Americans polled by the Gallup Organization said journalists had gone "too far" in reporting the Hart-Rice story. The same proportion disapproved of the revelation about the date of Pat Robertson's wedding, which occurred after his first child was conceived. But significant pluralities felt that the press had "acted properly" in reporting Joe Biden's plagiarism as well as the role of Michael Dukakis' campaign staff in Biden's downfall...
