McGovern Gains Defectors in Key States but Nixon Maintains Lead
The Times-Yankelovich poll series shows McGovern reclaiming defectors among independents and Irish Italian voters in New York and three large states, yet Nixon still holds a wide lead 57 to 27 in the 16-state survey. Regional results show Nixon trailing McGovern regionally by 23 points in the tri-state area and 30 points nationally, with Democrats shifting support toward McGovern but not altering the overall Republican advantage in foreign policy views.
