THE WHITE HOUSE

January 20, 1972
ADMINISTRATIVELY CONFIDENTIAL
MEMORANDUM FOR:
CHUCK COLSON
H. R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
BRUCE KEHRLI
BAK
SUBJECT:
Catholic Voting Attitude
It was requested that you note the attached information on a
recent Cambridge Marketing Poll.
Agreement was indicated with the underlined portion and it
was noted that much of Muskie's strength is due to his
Catholic support.

PRI DIRSIDENT 665 BIND
Supplement to Agenda and Brief
for Cardinal Cooke Meeting
RE: Catholic Voting Attitudes
The "Bailey memorandum" circulated at the 1956 Democratic
Convention in support of Jack Kennedy's candidacy for the Vice
Presidency had as a basic thesis that Catholics vote for Catholics
and would for some years to come. 1960 proved the thesis, but many
question whether or not it will be true in the future.
Plesser of Cambridge Marketing has shown me the results of a
just completed poll of 1500 likely voters. Shown below are the results
broken down by all voters and by Catholic voters in a three-way race
with both Muskie and Lindsay.

I asked if Lindsay was not a special case, but Plesser assured
me the same pattern pertained in the figures for the other non-Catholic
Democratic candidates. Other data indicate that in objective reactions
to Nixon, not related to other candidates, Catholics break down in the
same proportion as "all voters".
From the above, it appears clear that many Catholics who would
not otherwise vote for a Democrat will do so if he is a Catholic.
Because of this vulnerability, we should continue to give special
emphasis in our campaign and legislative strategy to winning back
these votes.

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
January 19, 1972
ADMINISTRATIVELY CONFIDENTIAL
MEMORANDUM FOR:
H. R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
BRUCE KEHRLI
BAK
SUBJECT:
New Hampshire
The January 19th, 1972 News Summary contained the following
paragraph:
'McCloskey predicts lagging support in New Hampshire
will force RN to campaign there before the primary.
McCloskey again said he wouldn't be surprised to see
RN stop off in New Hampshire enroute home from Peking,
but said, "I don't think he will win. 11 Pete said anti-RN
sentiment is running strong in N.H. and that he doubted
that RN would come even close to the 78% of '68. "The
key issue is that people no longer believe their Pres.
,
whether on the war, inflation, unemployment or pollution
control, 11 said McCloskey. 1
It was requested that efforts be stepped up to reduce the estimate
of 78% in New Hampshire.
Gordon Strachan will relay this request to the appropriate staff
member at the committee.

FROM
BRUCE KEHRLI
BAK
SUBJECT:
New Hampshire Primary
"In Human Events John Chamberlain writes that the
Ashbrook campaign is a calculated risk; if McCloskey
does better than Ashbrook the conservative cause will
be badly damaged. If RN gets 60% in NH that will be
victory enough but if he can't get the 78% he got in '68
it will be a "practical disgrace. 11
It was requested that you get the line out discouraging comparisons
with the '68 campaign as all the candidates except the President
had withdrawn at that point.
Please submit a report on actions taken in this regard and any
results by January 17, 1972.
Thank you.

Polls
The January 11, 1972 News Summary contained the following
paragraph:
"Louis Bean writes in the New Republic that
statewide polls of Michigan, Illinois, and
California indicate that in a 2-party race
Muskie rates 53%-RN 47%, the opposite of the
national polls. 11
It was noted that although Bean is a Democratic pollster,
these figures may be correct.
