GOP Members Favor Civil Rights Law in Survey
A San Francisco based survey of about 400,000 questionnaires shows a strong GOP backing for the civil rights law. Only a small minority oppose aspects championed by Barry Goldwater. The results align with congressional votes, with 82 percent of Senate Republicans and 78 percent of House Republicans supporting the bill. The study highlights concerns over foreign policy and Vietnam as key campaign issues. Robert E. Merriam will present results to the Republican Platform Committee, noting the civil rights support mirrors the congressional vote. About 40,000 responses received so far from the distributed 400,000.
