...odds against the first successful challenge to an incumbent President in 84 years may be growing shorter. This week's Gallup poll shows Kennedy pulling ahead of Johnson in popularity among Democrats 44% to 41%, after having trailed him 44% to 45% the week before announcing his candidacy. Mervin Field's California poll showed that in a three-way race in the June 4 primary there, Kennedy would draw 42% of the vote, Johnson 32% and McCarthy 18%; in a two-way race, the survey shows Bobby shellacking the President...
Reagan argued that as California's favorite son, it would be inconsistent to withdraw his name from Wisconsin's ballot.

An overwhelming 70% of California Republicans want a choice of other delegate slates on their primary ballot, and only 25% want a single slate pledged to Reagan...

Moreover, there is talk that California's Governor Ronald Reagan, getting less and less bashful on the subject of the presidency, might go into New Hampshire. In his own state, according to Mervin Field's California Poll, Reagan still trails Nixon and Romney, in that order, among preferred G.O.P. presidential candidates. But after interviewing 1,021 California Republicans, Field concluded last week that Reagan's strength has doubled to 15% in the past two months. A move by Reagan into New Hampshire...
Death & Burial. Around the U.S., there exists what California Pollster Mervin Field describes as "a general uneasiness"-over Viet Nam, high prices, an ever-rising crime rate, the seeming ineradicability of poverty, the restlessness of the younger generation, the increasing use of a whole pharmacopoeia of drugs, from pot to peyote. A Gallup sampling showed that 58% of Americans consider income taxes too high-and the figure will surely swell if Johnson decides to slap a 6% surcharge on income tax rates. If he does not, the Administration may well end the current fiscal year with a deficit...
