Magnetic Bandwagon? Lending credence to that view and Kennedy's own optimistic palmistry was a private poll taken in Wisconsin for Nixon and for Republican Strategist Len Hall. The poll showed Kennedy leading Humphrey by a surprising margin: 62% to 38%. Reasoning along with the Kennedy forces themselves, top Republicans were ready to grant that a big win for Kennedy in Wisconsin would virtually sew up the Democratic presidential nomination for him; for a Kennedy sweep there would quickly bring most of the Northern fence-sitting Democratic bosses around the U.S. racing to get on the magnetic bandwagon...

...itself, unrelated to differences between the two parties, lurks the bristly issue of religion-meaning the religion of one particular Democratic hopeful, Roman Catholic John Kennedy. In a Gallup poll last year, one voter out of three in the South and one out of five in the rest of the U.S. said that he would not vote for a Catholic for President even if the nominee was "generally well qualified" (but only 47% of the voters polled knew that Jack Kennedy is a Catholic).
