Muskie Surges But Trails Nixon in 1972 Trial Heats
Senator Muskie has recovered from an early slump and runs a stronger race than rivals for the 1972 Democratic nomination, yet trails President Nixon by four points 43 to 39 percent with under a year to Election Day. The poll of 3529 likely voters in mid November shows Muskie closing a gap since September and confirms Nixon’s lead across multiple matchups, with Wallace hovering in the 11–12 percent range.
