McGovern narrows gap in New York race
In Albany, New York, Senator George McGovern closes the gap with President Nixon in state polling ahead of next week's vote. Most polls show Nixon favored to win New York, with Mankiewicz citing a Cambridge Survey margin of seven to eight points. The Daily News straw poll suggested Nixon could win by about 1.5 million votes, while McGovern campaigns continue in upstate New York and New York City. Republicans eye gains as Democrats face reapportionment shifts, with several GOP candidates and Nixon aides warning of a possible landslide.
