...decided to find out for myself just how much The Game meant to people. I decided to conduct a Gallup poll...
Johnson, who holds degrees in both law and medicine, is ambiguous on the issue of independence. His election was a defeat for hard-line P.Q. separatists. Only one out of six Quebecers, according to a Gallup poll released last week, still favors secession. But his victory may prove short- lived. Quebec's Liberals, led by former Provincial Premier Robert Bourassa, 52, had already whittled the P.Q. majority in the national assembly, the provincial parliament, down to two votes. But in addition to resigning the premiership, Levesque also gave up his national assembly seat. His departure last week...
...minimum needed to produce any cardiovascular benefit. Five years ago, the service urged that by 1990, three- fifths of those 18 to 64 and half of those 65 and over should be meeting that minimum. Now it says that chances of reaching those goals are "poor." Newly published 1985 Gallup Leisure Audit figures found no significant change in the number of sports participants over the past two years. Swimming, including mere splashing around the local pool, remained the most popular activity (41% of Americans did it at least once last year). Fishing (34%) nosed out bicycling (33%) for second...
Despite his deep sympathy for liberal causes, Browning may find it prudent to heed warning signals from a 1985 Gallup poll of Episcopalians.

From 1965 to 1983 the church suffered an 18% decline in membership, and a forthcoming book will warn that the Episcopalians and similar liberal denominations are aging far more rapidly than other religious groups and losing their...
PUBLIC AND CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS. Fundamentalists over the past generation have come to believe that public schools are a major force in establishing secular humanism. The religious right leads in agitating to restore prayer to the classroom (a cause favored by 69% of Americans, according to Gallup) and in seeking to censor school libraries and textbooks. Discussion of abortion in a high school text is the cause of protest in towns like Oak Hills, Ohio. Under attack in Madison, W. Va., and Peoria, Ill., are books of sexual counsel, including Changing Bodies, Changing Lives and A Way of Love...
