First a security guard at the Watergate hotel found people breaking into the Democratic Headquarters, located at the hotel and he told the police who arrested them for trespassing. Then Washington Post reporters, Woodward and Bernstein, found out, through the help of an FBI agent, that the White House, was involved in many criminal activities. This led to the resignation of President Nixon, who would have been impeached for covering up illegal activities.

To steal secrets from the Democratic National Committee Headquarters…
The Watergate Scandal is the burglary that led to President Nixon's resignation. The break-in took place in 1972 at the Democratic National Committee headquarters. The headquarters was in the Watergate office complex in Washington, D.C.
The office at the Watergate that was burglarized belonged to the Democratic National Committee. The Republican Party was looking for information that they could use to to their advantage in the 1972 elections.
Nixon was already in his second term and could not be re-elected again when the scandal broke. If you mean,did the watergate burglary affect the re-election of Nixon in 1972, I would say not. The burglary was foiled before anything was taken and would not have had great effect anyway.
