Over the same time period. Sen. Muskie has come up from 33 to 38 per cent. George Wallace in the latest test has come back ,to nearly his 1968 vote total. Significantly, as reported in the Harris Survey yesterday in results drawn from earlier surveys. Nixon runs a poorer race with Wallace out of the contest than if the former Alabama governor remains in. Part of the reason for this is that much of the Wallace vote is finds difficulty voting for an incumbent President. Part also can be traced to the fact that with Wallace in the contest, Nixon appears to be threatened from the right and in the South and is positioned as more moderate in the eyes of the voters.
