November 2, 1971
MEMORANDUM FOR H.R. HALDEMAN (per Strachan)
FROM: KENNETH L. KHACHIGIAN De
An interesting note on the Harris Poll of yesterday showing
the President leading EMK by 45% to 38%. : believe the poll is
suspect and that in reality the President's lead might be even
higher over Teddy.
Harris has the Black vote going 3% for the President and 93%
for Teddy. Because this sounded out of line, I checked back to a
RN/EMK trial heat Harris took this last June. In that one the
President led Teddy 44% to 36% and among Blacks it was RN - 13%,
EMK - 71%.
How, in a period of three months could Teddy's support among
Blacks jump thirty percent and the President's drop by 75%? My
conclusion: Harris slanted the poll somewhat (note that his inter-
pretation has EMK as the only Dem pulling up on RN while all others
drop back). And the slanting probably took place not only in the Black
precincts.
In any case, the data just struck me as interesting, and I feel
that the true reading would have RN scoring as high over EMK as he
does over Muskie.
