...Carter lead among women apparently has been shrinking, and some Reagan aides predict that it will virtually disappear by Election Day. Nationwide it was as high as 10% in August, according to a Yankelovich, Skelly and White survey for TIME. More recently, both Gallup and Harris polls showed Carter only 2% ahead among women. The percentage of women who say they are undecided has also been dropping, to only 5% this month, but it is still slightly higher than the percentage of undecided among...
...recent Gallup survey commissioned by the Japanese government claims most American leaders consider Japan's emergence as a trade power a benefit and not a threat to U.S. production, Takeo Iguchi, Consul General of Japan, told about 40 people yesterday at a seminar sponsored by the University's Japan Institute...
Opposition to Thatcher's policies had been growing steadily-until the Labor Party conference. Before, every major poll showed Labor leading the Tories by ten to eleven points. Afterward, a Gallup poll indicated Labor's lead had dropped to three points in reaction to the bitter fracas. Tory analysts take this to be only a temporary reprieve. Says M.P.

...such evangelicals are political conservatives, of course. In fact, a summer Gallup poll found evangelical voters choosing Jimmy Carter over Reagan 52% to 31%. But some analysts contend that is no true measure of the rightists' impact. For one thing, the Gallup poll included blacks, whom Falwell and his allies know they have little chance of influencing. Their efforts are directed not so much to converting Carter partisans as to politicizing the huge number of evangelicals-45% by Falwell's estimate-who usually do not vote at all. Falwell claims that in the past year ministers galvanized...
