Answers to the second-term question provided fresh evidence of the President's current weakness in the Northeast and Midwest, especially among blue-collar workers and union members. In these constituencies, the preference that Reagan not seek re-election corresponded roughly with the nationwide figures, while professionals and executives were evenly divided on the question. Even in the South and West, where Reagan's appeal is strongest, slight majorities of the voters preferred that he not seek a second term...
