McGovern Falls Further as Nixon Leads in Aut Survey
An auto survey shows George McGovern trailing Richard Nixon by 23 points, 57 to 34, after the Eagleton affair. Nixon leads in all regions, big cities, and among Catholics, independents, and educated suburban voters, with McGovern losing ground among traditional Democratic blocs and the new, non economic voters. The report cautions the race remains fluid with three months until election day.

Mayors from Chicago and New York praise his urban focus while Shriver vows to unite party factions and press for quick revenue sharing. He concedes the campaign will need a staff and schedule after his ticket's formal nomination. Meanwhile George Wallace improves after an assassination attempt but may face another operation to drain fluid buildup.
