Muskie Maintains Lead as Wallace Rises in 1968 Field
A Harris survey shows Sen. Edmund Muskie leading among Democrats and independents, with Gov. George Wallace moving into a strong third. Rep. Shirley Chisholm gains sharply, especially among black voters and women, posing a factor at the convention. Regional splits show Muskie strongest in the East, Wallace strongest in the South, and McGovern facing tougher competition in New Hampshire.
