Carter Wins Third Campaign Debate in Williamsburg
The last of three televised debates between President Ford and challenger Carter drew a wide audience and a 40 to 29 advantage for Carter in a Roper poll, with 31 percent calling it a draw. Observers noted a solemn, issue-focused exchange, Carter defending nonintervention while Ford touted economic improvements and warned against preannounced crisis options.
