Voters face pivotal questions as the 1968 race nears
The essay surveys public opinion trends in the 1968 campaign era. It notes shifts in attitudes toward the Vietnam War, inflation, tax policy, and race relations, with California’s GOP win and Brown’s narrow victory signaling a conservative wave. It weighs whether Johnson’s decline and Reagan’s rise portend gains for Republicans or losses for Democrats, and whether personality or policy drives voter choice. It asks how loyalty and regional support will shape outcomes, and whether polling will determine who reaches office.
