Republicans in Trouble as GOP Faces Poor Polls
Washington AP reports GOP Chairman Mary Louise Smith warned the party is in serious trouble after a poll shows only 18 percent of Americans call themselves Republicans. Ford, Rockefeller and Reagan headlined a two day leadership meeting for a 1976 rebuilding push. The Market Opinion Research poll finds Democrats at 42 percent, independents at 40, with GOP strength strongest among rural residents, housewives, seniors, high earners, and border or Mountain states. Smith warns of low registration, internal dissension, and a looming November setback.
