NEW YORK (AP) - Americans
think President Carter is an honest,
hard-working man, but they don't think
he has gotten much done as President.
That's the finding of the latest
Associated Press (AP)-NBC News poll,
taken this week.

mance at levels touched only by
Richard Nixon among recent occupants
of the Oval Office.

said Carter has done a good or excellent
job in office, compared with 69 per cent
who rated his work as fair or poor. Two
per cent were undecided in the
telephone interviews conducted Mon-
day and Tuesday.
That is down four points since the last
