![["The Connally for President Committee will be hosting a nationwide television special called \"Freedom From Crisis\" on February 14, featuring Governor Connally and aimed at raising funds for the campaign. The special comes after a poll showed Connally's popularity increasing while Reagan's support decreased. Additionally, a poll in Texas showed Connally leading among Republicans, with the best chance of defeating Reagan and Carter in a head-to-head match. Supporters are encouraged to host home receptions to raise funds and show support for Connally."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Paula%20Unruh%20Collection,%201964-2009/CAC_PP_075_1_2_3_0000%20%20-%20Connally,%20John-Campaign%20of%201980,%20undated,%201978-1980/Thumbnails/CAC_PP_075_1_2_3_0057_thumbnail.jpg "John Connally's 1980 Presidential Campaign: A Nationwide Television Special and Polling Updates")
