How did news of the Watergate break-in affect Nixon’s 1972 re-election bid?

The Watergate scandal began in early 1972 when five burglars were arrested in the office of Democratic National Committee. It was located in the Watergate complex buildings in Washington.  The burglars were wiretapping phones and stealing documents. After the matter came to lime light, Richard Nixon tried to cover it up. His role in the covering up was revealed in August 1974. Nixon resigned after the revelation of the scandal.  Although the Watergate break- in didn't affect his re-election bid for presidency. Hopes this helps!

ummm? is that supposed to be a question or a but this is a reason he won re-election

explanation:

"despite progress in the war, lincoln and most political pundits were convinced that he would lose his bid for reelection in 1864. the country was war weary and the democratic party's nominee, george mcclellan, was likely to negotiate a peace treaty with the confederacy if elected." - loc.gov

the main inference that can be drawn from jean jacques rousseau's book the social contract is: a. people can enjoy civil and physical freedom, even if it sometimes harms society.

hope this
