Carter Holds Narrow Lead As Harris Survey Warns On Turnout

The Harris Survey shows Carter ahead 45 to 42 percent in the final campaign week, with turnout emerging as the crucial factor. Carter leads among big city voters and under-30s, while Ford’s strongest support is in suburbs and among the educated and higher income groups. The survey notes fading "certain to vote" levels and identifies three key handicaps for Carter: perceived lack of experience, shifting stance with political bosses, and questioned credibility compared to Ford.

Washington pollsters disagree over turnout effects on Ford and Carter. Gallup says rising voter interest boosts Ford, with turnout likely to match 1972 levels, while Harris forecasts lower turnout hurting Democrats. Debates shifted concern and coalition dynamics, including Catholics and Southern Protestants, leaving the race close.
