...greatest political contradiction of the 1950s lies in the continued top-drawer popularity of President Eisenhower and the sad-sag standing of his Republican Party. Last week the Gallup poll, just finished with a survey showing the G.O.P. at an alltime low of 41% (TIME, June 1), broke down the results into job groups. The answers were enough to furrow any Republican brow, including Dwight Eisenhower's. They showed that the G.O.P. not only has failed to make significant inroads in groups where it was weakest, but has suffered disastrously in groups it must win strongly...
...Ruhr. In Paris four European airlines-Air France, Alitalia, Belgium's Sabena and West Germany's Lufthansa-announced plans to integrate their schedules, maintenance and foreign-sales organizations under the name "Air Union." And in a West German poll, only 37% of the citizens questioned by the Gallup-like "EMNID" Institute were anxious to see Germany remain a sovereign state; the solid majority (52%) favored membership in a European union...

In reply to its standard question ("Do you approve or disapprove of the way Eisenhower is handling his job as President?"), the Gallup poll last week reported new figures...
...Gallup offered little cheer to Ike's Republican Party. Asked to name the party of their choice, 59% of those questioned picked the Democrats, 41% the Republicans. By contrast, the G.O.P. had polled 43.5% of the vote in gloomy 1958, 41.5% in 1936, the blackest year in the party's history...
Less than half the voters are aware that Senator Kennedy is a Catholic. Only 47% of all voters can identify Kennedy's religion, and even fewer Protestant voters (42%) know that he is Catholic. In his most recent tabulation, without reference to religion, Gallup found that Kennedy led Vice President Nixon in a straw vote by the comfortable margin of 57% to 43%. By deducting from the totals those voters who say they will oppose a Catholic under any circumstances, Gallup evened the odds: Kennedy, 50%; Nixon, 50%. But he had a final word of statistical encouragement for Kennedy...
