...sense of gratitude-which the China crisis has strengthened-that 'Eisenhower has kept us out of war.'" But Lubell noted "a significant change of attitude from two years ago." Today many voters "are looking to Washington for more vigorous leadership." The voters still like Ike (the Gallup poll this week found his popularity down 2% from August but still a healthy 56%). But the feeling is mostly personal, and Lubell found "a deep concern that Eisenhower may no longer be the master of the White House...
...results of a Gallup poll announced last week revealed a well-obscured fact about a serious argument between the U.S. and Canada over the question: Should Red China be seated in the U.N.? Most adult Canadians, the poll showed, have only the fuzziest notion of what the argument is all about. A full 11% thought Red China already had a U.N. seat; 41% did not know.

But it marks unmistakably the public awareness that conditions have changed, promises that the 1958 election can still...
...nation is much farther along in technological progress than it seemed in the flap after Sputnik I. ¶ President Eisenhower's decision to send U.S. troops to Lebanon diverted public attention from the Adams-Goldfine affair -and boosted the President's popularity with the voters. The Gallup poll reported last week that 58% of voters questioned said they approve of the way the President is handling his job, only 27% said they disapprove (15% had no opinion). Back in April a Gallup survey showed 49% approving, 35% disapproving...
