...emphasis on the old theme that the Democrats bring prosperity and the Republicans take it away may by paying off; bread and butter is still a tasty dish. Humphrey could find little consolation, however, in the 1948 Truman victory he is trying to emulate. According to a Gallup poll released this week, Humphrey trails Nixon by 15 points, 43 to 28. At roughly the same stage in 1948, a Roper poll showed Truman only 13 points behind the aloof and confident Dewey. Humphrey should know better than to trust the 1948 analogy anyhow. As an incumbent President, Truman commanded immense...
Jell-O v. Concrete. The opinion polls have consistently portended disaster, but by diminishing margins. Humphrey trailed Nixon by 16 points in an August Gallup poll and 12 points this month. A new national sampling scheduled to come out this week will show Nixon's lead reduced to eight points...
...speaks in Westchester but for "law and order" when he is in Houston or Charlotte, N.C. His approach seems to be paying off. The Louis Harris Survey last week produced new evidence that Nixon has been gaining popular support because of the "law and order" issue. Similarly, a new Gallup poll released this week shows that, while the 16-point lead Nixon enjoyed over Humphrey after the G.O.P. Convention has shrunk somewhat, he still commands 43% of the nationwide vote against 31% for Humphrey and 19% for Wallace...
...despite its love of simple answers, does not want for contradictions. It bases its appeal on protecting the hectored individual against the encroachments of Government, but attacks the Supreme Court when it acts to protect the individual against the Government's police powers. One of the more revealing Gallup polls of recent months asked whether citizens wanted new appointees to the Supreme Court to be conservative or liberal. The response was pro-conservative, 51% to 30%. The economic group strongest for this view was the $3,000-$5,000 bracket-the very segment that would seemingly benefit most from...
From every indication, Wallace is not exaggerating. A Gallup poll last week showed that millions of U.S. union members are turning to Wallace, with 50% declaring for him in the South, 12% in the rest of the nation. Humphrey's labor support has fallen correspondingly, to only 42%. Since Gallup began surveying union people in 1936, no other Democrat has ever done so poorly with blue-collar workers. There is a good chance, too, that union men-as well as the legions of other middle- and lower-middle-class people at whom Wallace's appeal is aimed-will...
