Further Antedating of "Credibility Gap"

[Fred Shapiro]

credibility gap (OED 1966)

1965 _Wash. Post_ 5 Dec. A21  Creeping signs of doubt and cynicism about
Administration pronouncements, especially in its foreign policy, are
privately troubling some of the Government's usually stalwart supporters.
The problem could be called a credibility gap.
