Goldwater warns Watergate could cost GOP votes nationwide
Sen Barry Goldwater cites a private poll predicting a 10 percent drop in Republican votes due to Watergate.

He notes Nixon should not resign, but Ford is best if forced to step aside. He cites Nixon’s 27 percent standing and a fragile economy as contributing factors.
