Further, continued civil disobedience will deepen the sense of crisis in this country. The President, the Senators, and the Congressmen all have seen the results of ?oll after poll indicating that the American people overwhelmingly favor immediate U.S. withdrawal-a Gallup poll several mouths ago stating that 73 per cent favor withdrawal by New Year's Day, a Harris Poll released Monday showing that 58 per cent regard the war as immoral. They have ignored polls in the past, and they will continue to ignore them as long as they feel confident that massive protest will not leave the methods...
...years later, President Nixon is finding that "arming" more difficult than he expected. Despite cautiously phased troop withdrawals, more than 300,000 Americans are still fighting in South Viet Nam, and in the U.S. some of the same incredulity that enveloped Lyndon Johnson is descending on Nixon. A recent Gallup poll found that 69% of the American people do not believe the Nixon Administration is telling the truth about Viet Nam; L.B.J.'s rating on that question at the same point in his first full term was 65%.

...mismanaged major companies to go under. Says one young Tory M.P. with typical sangfroid: "We knew it was going to get worse before it got better." While it is getting worse, more and more of the country is losing confidence in Heath's policies. Last month's Gallup poll indicated that Labor now enjoys a 71% margin in popularity over the Tories and that three out of every four Britons are dissatisfied with the government's inability to control rising prices. Given the profoundly anguished mood of many Britons today, the question may be: Will Heath...
