The GOP was hurt in the short term; the elections of '74 and '76, as well as a record low 21% identifying as Republicans in 1975. However, I believe the fact that the GOP disavowed Nixon for a time, helped, as it showed them putting morality over party (this was a time when the GOP was probably viewed as the "more moral" of the two parties).
