Rockefeller, the man who wasn't there, still will not go away. As Romney slipped down the polls, Rocky shinnied up. The Gallup poll indicated that the New York Governor would beat President Johnson, 48% to 46%, in an immediate election. In a Lou Harris sur vey, Rocky took over as L.B.J.'s strongest potential challenger (just trailing, 43% to 44%), while Romney fell to fourth. In a poll of California's Republican state legislators, 31% said that they personally hoped Rockefeller would get the nomination...
Britons are disenchanted with Prime Minister Harold Wilson, whose Labor government is plagued by, among other things, rising unemployment and a foreign-trade deficit. Two weeks ago,the Gallup poll found that Wilson's administration was the most unpopular British government since World War II.

...Gallup poll last week found that 53% of the electorate think the Republicans have a good chance of winning the presidency in 1968. Another Gallup report and the Louis Harris poll agreed that the percentage of Americans who approve of Johnson's conduct in office is down to 39%, the lowest figure any President has scored in the Gallup sampling since Harry Truman's 31% in 1952. For Johnson, the popularity tumble was rapid. After his June meeting at Glassboro with Soviet Premier Aleksei Kosygin, he enjoyed a 52% approval rating according to Gallup, 58% according to Harris...
...Name of God." The critics could point to some statistical support for their stand. A Gallup poll completed in mid-July reported last week that for the first time, a majority of Americans (52%) disapprove of President Johnson's handling of the war. The poll showed that 41% believe the U.S. should never have sent troops to Viet Nam in the first place, a percentage that has risen steadily from 24% in August 1965, and that 56% think the allies are stalemated or losing the war. Only 34% said they believe the allies are making progress...
