Carter also rated a 72% for "providing moral leadership," an improvement from the 66% of last June but still down a lot from the glowing 91% that he scored near the beginning of his Administration, in March 1977. Carter's report card dropped somewhat in the general area of domestic social policy. Only 54% rated him favorably on aid to cities, 53% on coming to grips with the energy problem, and 52% on "keeping our defenses strong." Unquestionably, he fared worst on all economic issues - 49% on providing jobs, 47% on cutting back government bureaucracy and 24% on curbing...
Primarily on the basis of his gains in the field of foreign policy, and the general sense of moral leadership that came from his summit triumph, Carter has been able to turn around the results of hypothetical contests between himself and Gerald Ford. In trial heats polled in June and August, Ford came out ahead by eight percentage points. Today Carter would win 46% to 35% over his former opponent and carry all sections of the country.

Those who bring military hardware along with them qualify for huge bonuses: Seoul offers $5.7 million for a North Korean warship and $1 million for an aircraft, but only $60 for a carbine. On top of the bonuses, Seoul promises to take care of defectors for the rest of their lives...
...General Election. I must be honest and say that I don't think we are going to be able to comply by the end of the year. I hope I am wrong. [But] the less terrorism, the easier it will be to hold the election, because otherwise, intimidation is rampant and it is difficult for people to exercise a free vote...
