Hey!


Nixon worried about being re-elected in 1972, largely because he had narrowly won the popular vote in 1968.

Hope this helps!

The answer is: narrowly won the popular vote in 1968

In the election of 1968, Nixon only won the popular vote by around 0.7% Margin.

This amount of lead is extremely unstable for a presidential candidate since small mistakes and one bad reputation from the media could completely turn the vote away from him.
