Senator John Kennedy of Massachusetts plans to announce his Democratic presidential candidacy on January 2. The UPI report notes Kennedy believes he can secure the nomination and compete for the presidency.
In the West, Nixon and Rockefeller top the field for handling domestic money and spending. Kennedy leads on labor management and domestic matters like employment and education, while Stevenson is favored on overall national problems among Democrats. Voters see Nixon strongest on foreign relations within the party split, with Rockefeller viewed as fiscally capable.
Democrats vow to keep Ezra Taft Benson in their crosshairs after Iowa House loss. Sen. Mike Mansfield argues farmers do not blame Benson solely for low prices and farm woes, noting a broader GOP upswing from 1958.
Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller reports growing pledges of support as he tours eight states seeking momentum for a possible 1960 Republican presidential bid. He heads toward Texas with plans to decide on a formal announcement.
Democrats back Nixon and Rockefeller while Kennedy leads among Republicans for labor management competence. Stevenson lacks strong GOP support, signaling uneven cross faction appeal in the Field Western poll conducted by Field Research Company.
The report notes a small but heartening portion indicating support, with similar feedback after meetings in Indiana. The subject is visiting party leaders in Wisconsin and Indiana who favor Nixon for the nomination.
