Reagan,
Bush begin
intense
campaign
From United Press International
President Reagan, countering a
popularity slip since the Democratic
convention, yesterday began a blitz
that includes a news conference, a
three-state campaign trip and some
barnstorming by Vice President
George Bush.
The Democrats' newly installed
team, after a week of uncontested at-
tention during the party's convention in
San Francisco, mostly stayed out of the
limelight. Walter Mndale concentrated
on catching fish in Minnesota yester-
day, while running mate Geraldine
Ferraro spent most of the day catching
up on work at her congressional office
in New York.
REAGAN, WHO met with Salvadoran
President Jose Napoleon Duarte at the
White House yesterday, fended off
questions about public opinion polls
showing his once-commanding lead
over Mondale gone.
The latest Gallup Poll gives Mondale
a 48-46 edge over Reagan, the first time
the incumbent has trailed a Democratic
challenger since his presidency began.
"It's natural for a political party to
show a blip after a convention," said a
Reagan campaign strategist. "That's
historically true."
Reagan plans to counter the
Democrats with a high exposure week
of his own, beginning with a nationally
televised news conference tonight at 8
p.m. EDT.
On Wednesday he travels to Texas for
a series of appearances, including a
rally with Bush in Austin, and the next
dayhe swings through Georgia and
then New Jersey.
