Galtfianakis
Is Confident
Congressman Nick Galifian
akis has told meetings of pre
cinct workers in several of his
headquarters that the results of
a major poll indicate that he
will win the race for the Demo
cratic nomination for U.S.
Senate. ,
In response to a newsman's
question Galtfianakis identified
the poll as that of Walter De -
Vries of Lansing, Michigan,but
said he did not know for whom
DeVries has been polling.
" I understand that this organi
zation has been polling in North
Carolina for several months and
that their surveys have shown
steady erosion of Jordan’s sup
port and a significant increase ,
in support for me,"Gali fianakis
said. "There is a sizeable num
ber of undecideds, which augurs
poorly for the incumbent at this
late date. According to those
who have seen die poll, "the
trends clearly indicate that I
will be the victor on May 6. "
