Lindsay gains Democratic support amid 1972 bid prospects
New York Mayor John Lindsay strengthens his appeal among Democrats and independents for the 1972 Democratic presidential nomination, leading in some groups though trailing Nixon in head-to-heads. He draws support in the East and Midwest, among blacks and educated voters, while lagging in the South, border states, Catholics, labor unions, and the least educated. A national poll shows Lindsay at 19 percent among Democrats and independents, with Nixon leading. The survey notes California’s primary next June and hints his nomination chances depend on primary success. In other news, Reagan appoints James Flournoy to a Workmen’s Compensation Appeal Board post after Flournoy’s 1970 defeat for secretary of state.
