Description
Episode Description
In this episode of the MacNeil/Lehrer Report, Robert MacNeil and Jim Lehrer speak to independent candidate John Anderson on the day of the final 1980 presidential debate. Anderson shares his thoughts on recent polling numbers, his opinions of fellow candidates Jimmy Carter and Ronald Regan, and his positions on energy, the economy, and the Iranian hostage crisis among other issues. Anderson addresses what he believes Americans will think about when deciding whom to vote for, and why he continues to stay in the race despite low polling odds. This episode's original date was given as 10/28/80 but has been changed to 10/29/80 to reflect content.
