Lindsay Gains Democratic Support Amid 1972 Nomination Talk
Mayor John Lindsay strengthens his backing among Democrats and independents as a potential Democratic nominee in 1972. Poll shows 10 percent support, moving him into slight contention behind Muskie and Kennedy, with broader head-to-head slippage against Nixon. Lindsey’s gains are strongest in the East and Midwest, among blacks, youth, and college-educated voters, while weakness persists in the South, West, and among Catholics and labor union members. The survey also notes continued leads for Muskie and Kennedy.
