A SURVEY TO DETERMINE
VOTER REACTION TO
CANDIDATES AND ISSUES
IN GEORGIA
October 25, 1972

INTRODUCTION
A telephone survey of selected areas in the state of Georgia
was conducted by J.A. Reyes Associates, Inc., on October 20-23, 1972,
to determine voter reaction to candidates and issues in the forth-
coming Presidential, Senatorial, and Congressional elections.
Two major geographical areas of the state were surveyed: greater
Atlanta and the Valdosta city area (Lowndes County). The target groups
within the Atlanta area were determined through the use of U. S. Bureau
of Census (1970) tract information which provided both accurate
population counts and racial breakdowns. The Atlanta area survey in-
cluded the city of Atlanta (the portions in Fulton County), the
remaining portions of Fulton County, all of Cobb County, and all of
Douglas County. The survey in Valdosta encompassed the city itself
as well as the surrounding areas of Lake City and Clayatteville. The
areas surveyed represented five different population groups: urban Blacks,
urban whites, the suburban population, the rural population, and south-
ern Georgia. The responses from these five groups are indicated in the
summary tables.
The survey size was set at approximately 1,000 respondents in
order to provide an acceptable level of statistical certainty. In
almost all cases the sample size was proportional to the existing
population as derived from the 1970 census counts. The exception was
in Southern Georgia. There, a larger sample was taken to reflect a
greater area than the Valdosta city region and to develop a greater
certainty factor in obtaining a representative sample.
All of the questions asked, as well as the introduction used by
the surveyors, are contained in Figure 1. All calls were made from
Washington, D.C. The questions related to the following areas:
(1) party identification
(2) voter preference in the race between Senator
McGovern and President Nixon,
(3) voter preference for Fletcher Thompson vs,
Sam Nunn.
FIGURE 1
Hello, Mr(s).

research and analysis firm. We value your opinion and wonder if you
mind answering a few questions, OK?
1. Do you consider yourself
Democrat
Republican
Don't Know
2. Do you intend to vote in the next election?
Yes
No
3. If yes, do you intend to vote for McGovern or
Nixon?
4. If yes, do you intend to vote for Fletcher Thompson
or Sam Nunn for Senator?
5. FULTON COUNTY ONLY
Do you intend to vote for Rodney Cook or
Andrew Young for Congress?
6. Would Lester Maddox's public endorsement of a candidate
Yes
influence you?
No
7. Would this endorsement influence your friends?
Yes
No
8. Is Herman Talmadge chairman on any committee in
Congress?
Yes
No
9. If yes, which committee
Armed Services
Foreign Affairs

Appropriations
Don't Know
10. Are you in favor of unlimited Congressional mailing privileges

11. Has Mr. Nunn's charge of misuse of Congressional mailing

No
(4) voter preference for Rodney Cook VS. Andrew
Young in the 5th District Congressional race,
(5) the influence Lester Maddox has on the five
different population groups,
(6) the awareness, in the five communities, of
Herman Talmadge's position as head of the
Agricultural committee,
(7) the affect on the voting public of Fletcher
Thompson's abuse of his Congressional mailing
privileges.
Names and telephone numbers of those surveyed were randomly
selected from local telephone books and the Criss-Cross Directory.
In order to obtain the desired representative sample, approximately
2,000 names and phone numbers were prepared prior to the actual tele-
phone survey. When the desired number of responses were gathered the
survey was considered complete and the additional names and numbers
were discarded.
The following tables represent a summary of the responses
received from the survey. Each table is interpreted in a summary
following the table.

SUMMARY
-
The respondents in rural Atlanta and southern Georgia
predominantly retain allegiance to the Democratic party. The urban
Black population also indicates a strong preference for the Democratic
party. The suburban and urban white population, however, show a more
balanced affiliation between the Republican and Democratic parties.

SUMMARY
-
Assuming a 50 percent split of those who did not present-
ly know or refused to state their preference, then President Nixon
will carry the urban white, suburban, rural, and southern Georgia
population by more than 30 percent. This trend is reversed in the
urban Black areas where Senator McGovern will carry the population
by approximately 30 percent.

SUMMARY
-
Assuming a 50 percent split among the undecided voters,
then the survey indicates that the voting public will follow their party
affiliation. Rural Atlanta, southern Georgia, and the urban Blacks
all lean toward Sam Nunn, while suburban Atlanta leans toward Fletcher
Thompson. President Nixon's popularity does not seem to reflect on
Thompson.

SUMMARY
-
Assuming a 50 percent split in the undecided voters,
Andrew Young will overwhelmingly carry the urban Black population.
The urban white population will apparently split between the two
candidates. The suburban group will support the Republican candidate.
If the majority of Blacks vote, they will elect Young.

SUMMARY
-
Support for Lester Maddox increased as the population
class went from urban to rural to southern Georgia. In the rural and
southern Georgia telephone interviews many voiced respect and intention
to support Maddox if he were a candidate, however, the majority would
not be influenced by Maddox to change their support for a candidate of
their choice.

SUMMARY
-
The same trend of support for Maddox is seen in this
question as in question 6. There is little support in the city but
increasing support in the rural and southern Georgia areas. There
is a far higher ratio of respondents who chose to indicate "don't
know" (indicating a desire not to speak for their neighbors), then in
question 6.

This question is summarized in two tables (9a and 9b)
to reflect (1) the percentages of all respondents (in question 8), who
could identify the proper committee chairmanship, and (2) the percentage
of those respondents who said 'yes' to question 8 (and went on to answer
question 9) and selected the committee chairmanship. The percentage of
respondents who properly recognized Talmadge as chairman of the
Agriculture committee is approximately 12 percent in the urban area and
20-24 percent in all other regions.
QUESTION 9b. The percentage of those who answered 'yes' to
question number 8 and identified Herman Talmadge

Dear Herb:
As I informed you, I am sending you our poll
figures broken down in as much detail as we felt you
would need to have. The green tabular sheets tell
the story pretty much and I think are self explanatory.
I have also included a summary of the issues
which our poll listed, together with the totals voted
thereon. I think they are significant and have very
interesting relationships to the Nixon-McGovern actual
vote.
Included also is a copy of our poll story which
we printed yesterday, and likewise one which ran today.
I am assured the latter is a predominantly negro poll,
taken in an overwhelmingly black area, being a mixture
of middle and lower income blacks. Please note the
marijuana vote, which is somewhat of an index as well
as their voting on the other issues.
We thoroughly enjoyed seeing you and wish to
express our appreciation for the time you gave us.
Sincerely,
pw:ak

Dear Bill:
Many thanks for your letter of September 29.
I was glad to hear from you and to have the results of the
Union Leader's recent poll in New Hampshire. This is
indeed welcome news, and I will be interested to compare
this poll with the results of the one in October and just
prior to the election.
Again, thanks. I'll share this with others here.
With every good wish to you and Nacky.
Sincerely,

memo in.
THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
August 10, 1972
MEMORANDUM FOR: THE PRESIDENT
FROM:
HERBERT G. KLEIN
The Chicago Sun Times completed a down-state
Illinois survey with 841 marked ballots between
August 2 and 4. The survey showed: President
Nixon, 67.2 percent; Senator McGovern, 27.1 per-
cent; and 5 percent, no choice.
A similar sampling taken July 26 to 28, at the
time Senator Eagleton revealed his passed illness,
showed President Nixon, 67 percent and Senator Mc-
Govern, 28.6 percent. This would indicate that
your lead stayed the same during that period of
turmoil.
The survey represents a 9 percent gain since a
poll taken in April in the same area. In the
same counties in 1960, you received a vote of
57.2 percent and in 1968, with the three-man race,
you received 54.5 percent.
The counties involved were considered bench marks
among 101 down-state Illinois counties. They are
Du Page, Lake Madison, McLean, Rock Island, San-
gamon, and Winnebago.
