...Surveys of Republican delegates showed heavy support for Connally, now 59, as the vice-presidential candidate. A poll by the Associated Press gave Connally 224 votes, Reagan 97 and Senator Howard Baker of Tennessee...
...Ohio and Pennsylvania. The major issue used by my primary opponents, particularly Congressman Morris Udall, was that I was fuzzy on the issues. This constant campaign statement had an impact in some of the states, though not the majority. But we have a fairly good public opinion poll and this has paid rich dividends-not in shaping stands on issues, because those can't be modified-but in the orientation of our resources: where I spend my time, where we spend our money, where I could send my wife or one of my children...
...campaign staff, which will continue to be headed by Jordan and Press Secretary Jody Powell. Carter is worried about overexposure, but he will make several major speeches, hoping to burnish his public image so that he will appear more like a potential President. In a recent Gallup poll, he won a "highly favorable" reaction from only 25% of those questioned, compared with 22% each for Ford and Reagan. That contrasts with 47% for Dwight Eisenhower in 1952, 41% for John Kennedy in 1960, 59% for Lyndon Johnson in 1964 and 28% for Richard Nixon in 1968, all at about...
IDAHO'S CHURCH, 52. Found by the TIME/Yankelovich poll to possess surprising national popularity as a possible veep (see story page 17), Church has wide experience in Washington and in foreign affairs, both of which Carter lacks. He is in his fourth term as Senator and is the third ranking Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee. Church also proved strong in the West in the late primaries. As the zealous chairman of the committee that exposed abuses of the CIA and FBI, however, he has offended many conservatives in both parties...
Figuring that they cannot top Carter anyhow, right-wing purists argue that they might as well nominate their ideological favorite, Reagan. At the Missouri convention, Governor Kit Bond repeatedly cited a poll showing Ford running twelve points better than Reagan in the state; delegates were unmoved because they knew that the same numbers indicated that both men would lose to Carter. What the delegates overlooked is that if a presidential candidate crashes, a lot of his party's candidates for state and local offices get bumped off too−as happened when Barry Goldwater ran in 1964. The whole...
