3 Later NBC showed various polls which reflected McG's gains in recent weeks. Still he trailed RN -- 55-45 in Gallup -- in all but one and that was a new Quayle Poll of Calif. which found McG leading RN 51-49. And w/Field showing the 2 at 41-41, Chancellor pointed to Calif's barometer reputation saying these polls could be important and they also show that McG would not represent the disaster Goldwater-type year which has been suggested by some. After film of McG's speech laden w/humor -- "We Can't Believe We Won the Whole Thing" -- and sorrow -- over RFK -- Chancellor noted that McG had picked up many of RFK's supporters, and now, 4 years after that death, he "almost has" the nomination picking up 370 new delegates Tuesday. In a 10 minute special at 11:30 abbreviated from planned 30 min, CBS said McG won S. Dakota and seems to be leading elsewhere. With 1% in -- Orange and San Mateo Counties -- McG led 51-36. A CBS survey of 2, 000 voters statewide found McG ahead by 5 points, not by as much as the 15-20% margins in polls. And Mankiewicz was predicting a 5-6% win. Still, said Cronkite, almost all elements of the electorate backed McG -- all across the board except for the aging and aerospace workers. (Survey also showed Prop. 9 -- the strong anti-pollution bill -- going under 2-1.) CBS came on again around 1:20 and went til 3:30. Note several times of Wallace's surprisingly strong New Mex. showing where he'll split delegates 9-9 with McG. CBS predicted McG, after N. Y. will have 1, 266 delegates. And tho he won all 4 contests Tues, they weren't the runaways expected. HHH on CBS/NBC before a happy cheering crowd as he went on for seeming hours -- good filler for nets whose film libraries were obviously low -- thanking virtually everyone who had worked for him in Calif and pointedly directed cameras to his young supporters. McG on film accepting congrats for record 4-primaries in a day and for birth of grandson. Chances now better than 50-50, said George, recalling Muskie/HHH descriptions of Calif. as the decisive contest. He then emphasized Dem unity and his hopes for a Muskie or HHH endorsement tho he won't push either man.
