Did the Watergate scandal affect Nixon's re-election chances?

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.


What happened to Nixon after the Watergate Scandal?

When Nixon's White House tapes demonstrated that he had authorized the payment of "hush money" to those involved in the Watergate break-in, and it became clear that he was about to be impeached, Nixon resigned. There was much talk of a criminal prosecution after he left office. Gerald Ford, the Vice President who had taken over as President at Nixon's resignation, was constantly asked about the subject. He decided that the country could not afford to go through such a trial, which would likely last years, so extended a full pardon to Nixon. Nixon retired to New Jersey and stayed out of the limelight. But his reputation, particularly in the area of foreign affairs, was somewhat revived in the 1980s, chiefly by his writings on the subject.


What role did the Washington post play in revealing the Watergate scandal?

'The connection between the break-in and the re-election campaign committee was highlighted by media coverage. In particular, investigative coverage byTime, The New York Times, and especially The Washington Post, fueled focus on the event. The coverage dramatically increased publicity and consequent political repercussions. Relying heavily upon anonymous sources, Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein uncovered information suggesting that knowledge of the break-in, and attempts to cover it up, led deep into the Justice Department, the FBI, the CIA, and even the White House.Chief among the Post's anonymous sources was an individual they had nicknamed Deep Throat (who was later revealed in 2005 to be former Deputy Director of the FBI William Mark Felt, Sr.) It was the informant 'Deep Throat' who met secretly with Woodward, and told him of Howard Hunt's involvement with the Watergate break-in, and that the rest of the White House staff regarded the stake in Watergate extremely high.'Deep Throat' also warned Woodward that the FBI wanted to know where he and the other reporters were getting the information which was uncovering even a wider web of crimes than first disclosed. In one of their last meetings, all of which took place at an underground parking garage somewhere in Washington DC at 2:00 AM, Deep Throat cautioned Woodward that he might be followed and not to trust their phone conversations.'Conclusion: The media played a massive role in almost impeaching one of the most powerful men in the World and most certainly the roles played by 'Post' reporters Woodward and Bernstein were instrumental in forcing President Nixon to resign...Information taken directly from Wikipedia, see link below.
