Most people went on living their lives as usual. Those that keep up with the news were relieved that the tedious Watergate hearings were about to be done with. Partisan Democrats were happy to see Nixon gone but sorry he was not impeached and convicted and sent to prison.

∙ 13y agoThat's not really a fair question.
Nixon's resignation itself was a response to the general pressure from the US population after they were disgusted with his behavior.
How any individual may have responded to his resignation depends entirely on how they felt prior to it.
Since most of the country wanted him to resign, than most of the US pretty much felt relief mixed with betrayal at having to consider his resignation in the first place.
Though there were always the few who were on his side with a 'forgive and forget' attitude; they were most likely disappointed that he would give up so easily.
