...devil a Governor can push through a billion-dollar tax increase and win popularity doing it is beyond me," grumbled a Democratic state assemblyman. Much to the bemusement of California's political pros, Freshman Republican Governor Ronald Reagan has done just that-and considerably more. He has also steered through a Democratic legislature major portions of his "fiscal conservative" program and at the same time managed to keep his name high on the list of the G.O.P.'s front runners in next year's presidential elections...
...violence in their own territories. So many officeholders have had trouble, however, that the effects may be canceled out. Alabama's third-party candidate George Wallace may win further support from people who think that the Johnson Administration has been coddling Negroes. California's Republican Governor Ronald Reagan, who had been shifting slowly from a conservative position toward the center of his party's spectrum, probably solidified his standing on the right by denouncing the rioters as "mad dogs," but it is doubtful that he increased his appeal to moderates in the process...

...members of the A.F.L.-C.I.O. overwhelmingly fa vor the re-election of Lyndon Johnson in 1968. The report, based on inter views with 1,700 unionists, showed the President a 55%-to-22% favorite over Nixon, 46%-to-30% favorite over Romney, and a 60%-to-16% choice over Reagan. There was one surprise, though, and a portent of trouble. A.F.L.-C.I.O. members under the age of 30, more flexible in their political allegiances than their fathers, preferred Romney over Johnson...
