These areas are concentrated in Florida (retirement communities, aerospace), Texas (aerospace, electronics, petroleum, natural gas) and California (aerospace and other high technology). They are generally high in- come, middle class, conservative communities and not structured along the established ethnic patterns of the Northwestern urban areas. In 1968, the President built up a large majority in the Florida Sun Belt, and was able to handily overcome deficits in Miami (heavily Jewish and Latin American) and the north (part of the Deep South and carried by Wallace) RECENT ELECTION RESULTS* President Republican Democrat A.I.P. 1968 887 (41%) 677 (31%) 624 (28%) 1964 906 (49%) 949 (51%) 1960 795 (52%) 749 (48%) Statewide Congressional Vote 1970 569 (45%) 681 (55%) 1968 758 (43%) 1012 (57%) 1966 369 (35%) 680 (65%) 1964 421 (30%) 992 (70%) 1968 Presidential Primary (Delegate Slate) Republican Democrat No Preference 51 Smathers 236 McCarthy 147 No Preference 128 *Figures in thousands 76% of Fea voters regis Dem - 24% R?

MARKETING RESEARCH 6727-1st AVENUE S. ST. PETERSBURG, FLORIDA 33707 (813) 347-2111 June 18, 1970 The Honorable Herbert G. Klein Director of Communications for the Executive Branch The White House Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. Klein: As you may recall from our last meeting in your office, we discussed the effect that the 16 to 20 year old age groups would have in the 1972 political campaigns, if the voting age were lowered to 18 and they all became voters. There are those who hypothesize that they will tend to be very liberal in the broad sense of the word, but it is conceivable that the actual situation may be quite different. I submit that there are other factors: 1. Not all 18 to 21 year olds are college students. 2. Not all necessarily are high school graduates. 3. Many of these youths may, in a sense, be reacting against student unrest. 4. Many of these young people may have been affected adversely, in their frame of reference, by integration, school busing, etc. 5. It is also conceivable that there is a need for pride, expressed in the desire to have heroes and be on the side of a military victory. June 18, 1970 -2- Mr. H. Klein Frankly, all research is based on an hypothesis which we either try to prove or disprove. We do not know the answer. We doubt whether anyone else does. I am endeavoring to get various newspapers in Florida - the Orlando Sentinel, the Jacksonville Times Union, *and the Miami News - to co- operate on a broad-based research project probing these concepts, and adding to this research other questions which will prove news- worthy. The project was fielded this afternoon in the Orlando area and will be extended as soon as we can get commitments from the other papers. We will break the interview segments into Caucasian, Non-Caucasian, and Latin American, as well as to break the sample up by region of the state. If this project should prove interesting and if funding could be raised, it could be very significant on a national scale. I am including a questionnaire with this letter and would like to get together with you regarding this research project and the New York study already completed. Best personal regards.
