Perot's Reform Party Suffers Weak Presidential Turnout
The Reform Party nominating convention produced fewer than 50 000 valid votes, about 4.4 percent of 1.13 million ballots mailed. Critics call the party a Potemkin village for Ross Perot, whose past broad backing has cooled as polls put him in single digits against Clinton and Dole.

Clinton Should Worry As Polls Show Dole Bounce
Washington reports warn that despite a temporary Dole lead after the San Diego convention, polls reveal vulnerabilities for Clinton. CNN and Newsweek data show Clinton narrowing to single digits or even tied, while internal measures flag soft support and a high wrong-track sentiment around 55 to 60 percent. Economies and downsizing fears, plus value shifts and perceived national direction, may complicate Clinton’s reelect prospects.

Democrats in Chicago Aim for unity and centrist stance
