RECOMMENDATIONS
This is a close election.
1. Apparently the Vice-President would do as well as the President
and in some respects slightly better.
2. Specific targets should be the 1968 Nixon voters supporting
Tydings (31%), the self-identifying Republicans supporting
Tydings (20-25%), and the 1968 Wallace voters supporting
Tydings (33%).
3. Female voters should receive special attention.
4. Trouble spots for Beall are those with less than $5,000 income,
Negroes, Jews, Catholics, and females.
III. Nevada -- 686 registered voters were interviewed.
A. Trial Heat
The trial heat for U.S. Senate was as follows (committed and leaners
