Among All Voters, Hart Loses to Bush by 18 Points, to Dole The Hawis Poll For releaae: Monday AM, January 18, 1988 1988 #5 ISSN 0895-7983 A'IONG ALL VOTERS, HART LOSES TO BUSH BY 18 POINTS, TO DOLE BY 22 POINTS By Louis Harris Although he leads among Democrats as their choice for their presidential nomination, Gary Hart runs far behind both Vice President George Bush and Senator Bob Dole in pairings taken by the Harris Poll among a cross-section of 1,101 tightly screened likely voters nationwide between January 7th and llth, by telephone. In sharp contrast, when the very same voters are asked whom they would vote for when given a choice of an unnamed Democrat and an unnamed Republican, the GOP wins by only the barest of two points, 48-46 percent. Bush runs ahead of Hart by 56-38 percent, while Dole leads him by a more sizable 59-37 percent. This gap of between 18 and 22 points in Hart's showing below that of his party raises the serious question of his ever becoming a viable candidate in 1988, even if he were to win the Democratic nomination. Hart is equally as well known as either Bush or Dole. He has the advantage of voter familiarity with what he stands for, but also the disadvantage of voter familiarity with his negatives. The implication of the results is that in a straight-out Republican-Democratic L contest for president, the voters are focusing in on the Republican record over the past 8 years. On this score, the division in the country is very close, indeed, and that would suggest a tight election next November. But, when Gary Hart is the Democratic candidate, then the vote appears to divide on a pro and anti-Hart basis. In other words, Hart, not the Republican record becomes the issue. Revealing are the differences among pivotal groups of voters between the Hart showing against Bush and Dole and the straight-out party pairings for the presidency that don't take into account any specific candidate. Here are the major groups among whom the Democrats hold out the promise of doing quite well, but where Hart does poorly: -- On a regional basis, the biggest gaps between Hart and the Democrats is in the East, where the former Colorado Senator loses to both Bush and Dole by an identical 61-35 percent margin, compared with a close 47-46 percent plurality for the GOP when just each party's "nameless" candidates are the choice. Thus, Hart runs a full 12 points weaker than the Democratic norm.In the Midwest, Hart loses to Bush by a closer 52-40 percent and to Dole by 54-43 percent. However, the Democrats lead the Republicans in this region on a party choice for president basis. This puts Hart 8 points behind the mark against Dole and 11 behind against Dole. -- In big cities, Hart runs a full 20 points behind the Democratic norm against Dole and 15 points behind against Bush. -- By age, Hart is weakest among those elderly voters 65 and over, where he runs 12 points behlnd the Democratic mark against Bush and 13 points behind against Dole. -- By education, Hart's weakness is obvious among the best educated voters -- those who have either a four year college degree or a postgraduate degree. Among the college eaucateri, Hart receives oniy 33 percenc or' the vote, QGihp&i& wit;, a iicuiii~st- Democrat who gets 35 percent, adding up to a gap of 15 points for the Coloradan. Among those with a graduate degree, Hart receives only 25 percent against Dole and a somewhat higher 34 percent against Bush. However, in the party pairing for president, the Democrat trails the Republican by only a narrow 49-46 percent. Thus, against Dole, Hart runs a L sizable 21 points off the mark and against Bush a lesser but still significant 12 points behind the Democratic Party showing. ( over 1 THE HARRIS POLL January 18, 1988 I t -- Perhaps the most significant result is by sex. Among men, the nameless Republican wins by 52-43 percent. Gary Hart also loses by a wider 60-38 percent against Dole and by 59-37 percent against Bush. Thus, Hart's gap among men against Dole is 5 points and against Bush 6 points, not a great deal. In the case of women, it is quite another story. On a party basis for president, the Democrats win among women by 50-44 percent, an indication that the gender gap is once again working on behalf of the Democrats in 1988. However, when Hart is the Democratic standard-bearer, he loses to Bush by 54-39 percent among women and to Dole by a more sizable 59-37 percent. Thus, the gap for Hart among women when pitted against Dole is 13 points and when he runs against Bush it is 11 points. In short, Hart blows the gender gap advantage for the Democrats by his relatively weak showing among women. -- By occupation, the Democrats hold a significant 51-46 percent preference lead over the Republicans among professional voters. By sharp contrast, Hart lost among professionals to Dole by 66-30 percent and to Bush by 64-33 percent. This put the Hart gap among professionals at 21 points against Dole and at 18 points against Bush. Among business executives, the Hart gap is 20 points when he runs against Dole and 11 points against Bush. -- Among union members, Hart's gap is 11 points against Dole and 12 points against Bush. -- By party, Hart is damaged the most among his own Democratic party base. While when no specific candidate is mentioned, the Democrats finish ahead among their own party's rank-and-file by 81-15 percent. Hart runs ahead of Dole among Democrats by only 54-42 percent and ahead of Bush by a wider 61-32 percent. Thus, Hart has a gap against Dole among Democrats of 27 points and against Bush of 20 points. - - Finally, by political philosophy, Hart's gaps are largest among moderates, among whom he runs a deficit of 14 points against Dole and 13 points against Bush, compared with the showing of a nameless Democrat. These facts point up the news that Hart's basic weakness is right within the Democratic Party. Fully one in every five Democrats say they won't vote for him if he is nominated. The fact that they mean it is proven by these very same Democratic voters not d casting their votes for Hart in the trial heats. TABLES Between January 7th and llth, the Harris Poll asked a nationwide cross section of 1,101 voters by telephone: "In the 1988 residential election, if you had to say right nw. would you vote for the Democratic candidate, or the Repubilcan candidate?"

  • 4. IOWA Iowa Is the State Famous for Holding Presidential Caucuses Rather Than a Presidential Primary. There Is a Good Reason F
    4. IOWA Iowa is the state famous for holding presidential caucuses rather than a presidential primary. There is a good reason for that. The state of New Hampshire has a tradition of holding the first presidential primary. In fact, New Hampshire has a law requiring that the New Hampshire primary be one week before the presidential primary of any other state. By scheduling caucuses rather than a primary, Iowa is able to hold its caucuses ahead of New Hampshire and thereby escape the political ire of New Hampshirites. Iowa also thus prevents New Hampshire from scheduling its primary one week ahead of the presidential caucuses in Iowa. That is what that famous New Hampshire law would require if Iowa held a primary. It was in 1972 that Iowa first scheduled its "First In The Nation" presidential caucuses. Four years later, in 1976, the Iowa caucuses were propelled to major importance when Jimmy Carter, a little-known former governor of Georgia, devoted virtually a year of his life to campaigning in Iowa. Carter's surprise victory in the Iowa caucuses made him the instant front-runner for the Democratic nomination. It was an advantage which Carter exploited so well he was eventually elected president of the United States. But there is also a downside to the Iowa caucuses for presidential hopefuls. Iowa can be the burial ground for a candidacy instead of the launching pad. That is what happened to U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts in 1980 when he challenged incumbent President Jimmy Carter for the Democratic nomination. President Carter polled 59 percent of the Iowa caucuses vote to 31 percent for Kennedy.

  • Why Insurgent Campaigns Rarely Win the Democratic Presidential Primary in the United States
    Athens Journal of Social Sciences Volume 6, Issue 2 – Pages 139-154 Why Insurgent Campaigns Rarely Win the Democratic Presidential Primary in the United States By L. Jan Reid* The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines insurgent as "one who acts contrary to the policies and decisions of one’s own political party." In this paper, an "insurgent presidential campaign" is defined as the campaign of a candidate who did not have the support of the United States of America’s (U.S.) Democratic Party establishment. A "populist campaign" is a subset of an insurgent campaign, because although all populist campaigns are insurgent campaigns, not all insurgent campaigns are populist campaigns. This paper defines a "populist campaign" as one that seeks to mobilize an unrepresented segment of the population against an institution or government, usually in defense of the unrepresented. Whether left-wing or right-wing, populist candidates seek to unite the supposedly uncorrupt and unsophis¬ticated unrepresented against supposedly corrupt dominant elites. Insurgent campaigns have rarely been successful in capturing the Democratic Party presidential nomination in the United States. Only three insurgent campaigns have been successful over the past 50 years: the campaigns of George McGovern in 1972, Jimmy Carter in 1976, and Barack Obama in 2008, all of which were populist campaigns. The paper analyzes U.S. presidential campaigns for the period 1968- 2016; reviews books and academic literature; and makes conclusions concerning the success and failure of insurgent campaigns. Finally, the paper recommends ways in which future insurgent campaigns could be more successful. Keywords: Insurgent Campaigns, Populism, Presidential Campaigns.

  • Front-Runner Gary Hart's Support Is Thin
    The Harris Survey For release: Monday All, January 12, 1987 1987 # 2 ISSN 0273-1037 FRONT-RUNNER GARY HART'S SUPPORT IS THIN By Louis Harris Gary Hart is far and away the front-runner for the Democratic nomination for president in 1988. Be runs well ahead of Vice President George Bush, and yet he is far less appealing to the American people than he was in 1984. This strange combination in turn indicates just how weak a candidate Bush is and also portends qUite a wide open contest in both parties for the nominations next year. At last count, Hart, the former Colorado Senator who chose not to run for reelection in order to spend full time campaigning for the White House, was the first choice of 31 percent of all Democratic and independent voters, followed by Governor Mario Cuomo of New York at 19 percent and Senator Bill Bradley at 9 percent, according to the October 29th to November 1st Harris Survey, taken by telephone among 731 Democratic and independent voters. This is a good though not commanding lead for Hart. At the same time, Hart is leading Vice President Bush by 50-42 percent among a cross section of 909 likely voters, interviewed by the Harris Survey by telephone between November 21st and 24th. Significantly, Hart is ahead of Bush in the East by 52-40 percent, in the Midwest by 52-37 percent, and in the West by 53-37 percent, although he trails the Vice President by 50-46 percent in the South. Translated into electoral college votes, this would mean a relatively easy Hart victory over Bush.
