Just how tricky that blend will be is evident in the results of the latest TIME/CNN Election Monitor, a poll that returns periodically to the same large sample of registered voters to map the shifts in their mood. If Bob Dole is right that the primaries this year are a battle for the heart and soul of the party, what he's likely to find is a detectable pulse in several far-separated points on the ideological spectrum. Is there a way to mix contented executives with angry workers? And to mix ardent pro-lifers with libertarians? If there...
Amid the burgeoning scandals, the question remains, Does it matter? The British are often tolerant of people's weaknesses and foibles. "The monarchy has not lost the support of public opinion," claims Vernon Bogdanor, Oxford's constitutional expert, and indeed, according to a Gallup poll, support for ending it has held steady at 15% for the past five or six years.

The survey of 826 registered voters has Clinton leading Dole 49 percent to 40, a slight drop from a February poll showing Clinton with a 52 to 39 percent lead.

In a TIME/CNN poll last week, 58% of those surveyed thought free-trade agreements were "mostly good" for U.S. corporations, but 51% thought the effects for workers were "mostly...
...knock off the pretenders and leave a leader to pick up the banner of the party. But that's just not the case these days. While the Republican field has essentially been narrowed to four, half of the primary voters complained yesterday to a New York Times/CBS News poll that they are unsatisfied with the candidates who are left...
