Weeks after Nixon had resigned, 30-35% of the US public still believed that watergate was something cooked up by the press, and other forces aligned against Nixon (never mind it was Republican congressional leaders that pushed him to resign)....

6 months to a year later, market researchers/pollsters gathering data on unrelated subjects asked questions on demographics, voting trends etc...

Turns out only 5% of people asked had actually voted for Nixon in 1972....for the record, Nixon won 61% of the popular vote....

Funny how that happens....
