Suppose Agnew's criminality came out in the week before the 1968 election.
My recollection, admitdely as a teen, is that Harrold Wilson had run on the basis of solving the balance of payments (which devaluation had largely achieved) however there was fluke set of figures in the week before the election becuase of the one off of imports of 747 jets, they might have gone into the following month's figures.
My theory
I think Humphrey holds in 72 and Muskie loses in 1972 based on general feeling of one party in power for too long
Ditto Wilson or maybe someone else lose a 1975 election
Conservatives get the blame for the problems of the 1970s
The 1980s are progressives,
Much less shifit of money from wages to shareholders and CEOs
