Democrats Lead In House Races Amid Conflicting Currents
The Harris update show Democrats favored 46 37 nationally for House contests, 44 40 outside the South, while the public rates the Senate and Congress with 34 54 negative views of the Democratic led Congress. Nixon gains from peace emphasis while Agnew lags with 40 50 negative. Voters cite economy concerns and crime law and order as Republican strengths, with peace giving Republicans an edge on foreign policy and Democrats an edge on domestic issues.
