Hart leads Democrats; V
Bush dominates GOP a
HOUSTON (AP) — Gary Hart is
in front of the pack of Democratic
presidential contenders in Texas in
the party’s March 8 primary while
Vice President George Bush contin
ues to dominate the Republican field
in his home state, according to a poll
released Sunday.
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

from Tennessee said one
show. “That is sometfel

Only 21 percent of the Republi

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.
He is rated negatively by half of
the respondents, positively by 36
percent, with 15 percent expressing
neutrality. (Percentages dq i
