While Bush retains a command ing lead in the GOP race in Texas, Hart’s high negative ratings indicate his Texas lead of the Democratic field is “shaky. He is vulnerable,” according to University of Houston political scientist Richard Murray. With colleague Kent Tedin, Mur ray conducted the Jan. 4-11 survey of 1,020 Texas registered voters ex clusively for the Houston Chronicle and the Dallas Morning News. Of the 399 poll respondents who said they were likely to vote in the Democratic primary, 26 percent said they would vote for Hart and 17 per cent for the Rev. Jesse Jackson. The other candidates — Tennessee Sen. Albert Gore, Illinois Sen. Paul Si mon, Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis, Missouri Rep. Richard Ge phardt and former Arizona Gov. Bruce Babbitt — are far back. Forty percent of the Democrats are undecided. Hart, a former Colorado senator, dropped out of the race last May in the wake of a scandal with a Miami model but got back in last month. Murray attributes Hart’s lead in B art to the fact that most of the other •emocratic contenders, with the ex ception of Jackson, are not well known. Candidates continue deba centered on social securiti The margin of error in the sam ples of likely primary voters is plus or minus 5 percentage points. The poll, with an overall margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points, was conducted through the UH Center for Public Policy. Bush, who calls Houston home, has the support of 57 percent of the 347 poll respondents who said they are likely to vote in the state’s March 8 GOP primary. Bush has an “in credibly positive” rating of 90 per cent among the likely GOP voters, almost all of whom know who he is, Tedin said. Bush’s closest Texas competitor is Kansas Sen. Robert Dole, who has AMHERST, N.H. (AP) — Jesse Jackson blasted fellow Democratic presidential candidates Sunday for social security proposals he said would leave the nation “divided and destroyed” as Republican Bob Dole accused two opponents of “just say ing no to everything.” Fresh from a pair of weekend de bates, presidential candidates from both parties renewed the arguments sharpened in those televised con frontations in Iowa and New Hamp shire. The politically sensitive subject of social security continued to provide the brightest rhetorical sparks. Gary Hart triggered a new round of debate among Democrats with a call for taxing 85 percent of social se curity benefits for those who make more than $32,000 a year. That fell short of former Arizona Gov. Bruce Babbitt’s call for full tax ation of those benefits, but Hart’s deficit-cutting proposal sparked controversy after its unveiling late Saturday night in his Ottawa, Kan., hometown. Jackson rejected the ideas, saying they would undermine the universal nature of the social security system. “If we try to separate the cream from the coffee, we will end politi cally divided and destroyed,” he said on ABC-TV’s “This Week with Da vid Brinkley.” “We should not tam- per with that social security system.” But Sen. Albert Gorejil was open to such ideas, r. 50 percent of such beneft ready taxed. “The level of taxation ccJj justed,” the presidential; from Tennessee said one show. “That is sometfel should be on the table.

Only 21 percent of the Republi can voters are undecided. Twenty-nine percent of likely Democratic voters cited Hart as hav ing the best chance of winning the party’s nomination. But Hart’s high negative ratings among the voters overall indicate he would be “absolutely unelectable” if nominated, Murray said.
