Party loyalties have been loosening steadily. Many restless Republicans lean toward McCarthy, while many more Republicans would not consider a Humphrey victory a disaster. Numbers of disenchanted Democrats, on the other hand, like Rockefeller. The trend is underscored by a recent Gallup survey. Among voters of all ages, 46% consider themselves Democrats, 27% Republicans, 27% independents. But among those under 30, only 38% call themselves Democrats and 22% Republicans. The remaining 40% regard themselves as independents?voters who are more concerned with current is sues and individual excellence than with traditional party labels or party loyalty...
...habitual Scilly Isles vacation spot. Merchant Banker Jocelyn Hambro recently called him the worst Prime Minister since Lord North, who presided over the loss of the American colonies. The public, which voted Tory in by-elections all winter and spring, earlier this month gave Wilson the lowest rating that Gallup pollsters have recorded for any Prime Minister since they began sampling in Neville Chamberlain...

The latest Gallup poll showed that Wallace has steadily gained popularity not only in the Solid South but elsewhere in the country as well...
...first time since it began publishing 33 years ago, the Gallup poll reports that crime is the nation's No. 1 domestic concern. And "crime in the streets"?a catchall phrase for everything from muggings to insurrections?may well have displaced Viet Nam as the prime issue in the presidential campaign. The FBI reckons that urban crime jumped 88% in the first seven years of the decade?and 17% over 1967 in the first three months of 1968. Granting a sizable margin of inaccuracy in reporting, the figures are probably a fair approximation of the facts. In response...
