ADMINISTRATIVELY CONFIDENTIAL
MEMORANDUM FOR:
HERBERT G. KLEMN
FROM:
KEN W. CLAWSON
SUBJECT:
OHIO SITUATION
George Embry, Bureau Chief of the COLUMBUS DISPATCH, reported
today that the DISPATCH's continuing Ohio poll will be
published this weekend. It will show the President increasing
in popularity from 62% to 64% in the state.
This poll is more meaningful than the earlier one because it
is weighted heavier into the industrial areas of northwestern
and northeastern Ohio (Toledo - Cleveland).
Embry also made a suggestion to me that I think is worthwhile
and that I would pass on for consideration:
He suggests that a Presidential campaign trip concentrate
on the Mahoning River Valley areas of Pennsylvania and Ohio.
This area is stocked with traditional Democrat, ethnic voters
who may be susceptible to crossing over for us. The area
in Ohio is the only one where the DISPATCH poll shows that
we are eroding but not breaking the traditional Democratic
stance of voters there.
The tour could include Pittsburgh, Steubenville, Youngstown,
Canton and end up in Cleveland.
