...kind of issue that can change the whole situation," and warned that "the American people could get so fed up that the troops will all be out of there faster than McGovern, Hatfield or anybody else ever dreamed of, regardless of the consequences." Indeed, in the latest Gallup poll, drugs have moved up to become the nation's third most pressing concern, behind only Viet Nam and the economy...
...Place to Turn. Heath's efforts to overcome such objections will be greatly handicapped by the country's growing economic difficulties, which most Britons attribute to his austere policies. The latest Gallup poll showed Heath's popularity to be at its lowest point since he took office one year ago; only 31% of those questioned approved of his performance. In addition, the Tories trail Labor by 18 points in voter preference, a reading that has been substantiated in Labor victories in recent by-elections for Commons seats. There are presently 800,000 unemployed British workers, the highest...
...times the search seemed more like a Gallup poll than a selection process. At times, it required the delicate balancing of pressure groups with all five Corporation members fanning out through the College to assure everyone from the Faculty Council to the Lowell House Bell-ringers that their voice would not be overlooked.

Quips one of McCloskey's undaunted aides: "We're gaining; we're only 6% behind the 'no opinion' vote in the polls...
...lately, much of the traffic has been the other way. With the U.S. caught up in momentous internal problems, Australia has become the place that millions of Americans and Europeans consider the last beckoning frontier. A recent Gallup poll reported that 12% of the American people would like to move abroad, twice as many as in 1959. Of that group, a third (about 8,000,000) would choose Australia as their new home; since 1965, no fewer than 14,000 have done so. The same poll revealed that 40% of the British people, 27% of the West Germans...
