...would like to draw the attention of your readers to a poll that has not been reported so far as I know. Rev. Daniel A. Poling, of the Chapel of the Four Chaplains and chairman of the board of Christian Herald magazine, announced on Aug. 31 that a nationwide poll, responded to by 30,000 American Protestant clergymen, showed that 71.4% were opposed to the admission of Red China to the United Nations or granting it American diplomatic recognition. The same poll showed that 93.7% of American Protestant clergymen were opposed to the expulsion of Nationalist China from the United...

Wilson's law would, he said, "lead to the smothering of initiative and to the flight of the enterprising from this country to other, freer lands." Dissatisfaction with Wilson was reflected last week in the Gallup poll, which gave the Tories a 2½% lead over Labor. It was the worst showing for Labor since it took office...
...spectacle of such intraparty sniping has done nothing to enhance the C.D.U.'s prestige in West Germany. Poll results show substantial defections to the Socialists and Free Democrats...
