...midweek, Pollster George Gallup disclosed the results of his latest survey. It showed Dwight Eisenhower then leading Adlai Stevenson by 61% to 39%, as against a 55%-45% ratio in 1952's election. Since Democrats conceded an Eisenhower candidacy in 1956 as highly probable, the Gallup poll was merely another evidence of an already-clear political fact: that the chances of the Democratic Party for next year were poor...
...Kefauver is not loved by the party leaders, but he has demonstrated what he can do in preferential primaries, which next year will be held in some 20 states. Last week Kefauver was in Yugoslavia, shaking hands with Marshal Tito. But back home, there were encouraging signs: a newspaper poll of Maryland's Democratic leaders showed they preferred Kefauver to Stevenson; his followers in California, where he won heavily in the 1952 primary, were itching to enter his name in the 1956 contest...
...Secularism. Herberg cites a poll which asked U.S. citizens whether they obeyed the Biblical law of love toward a member of another religion (yes, 90%); of another race (yes, 80%); of a "political party that you think is dangerous" (no, 57%).

If you don't think so, take a poll. The question may be more serious to Marjorie because of her Old Testament upbringing. But it is a key problem for any girl. It's a general American dilemma...
...Poll. To find out what the public wants in the car of tomorrow, Chrysler Corp. put on display in its main Manhattan showroom three custom-made dream cars (Falcon, Flight Sweep I and II), fitted out with such futurisms as roofed headlights, curved window glass, external dual exhausts, control panel on a pedestal sandwiched between bucket seats, padded doors, and carpets fused over foam rubber. None of the supercars is a production prototype: Chrysler hopes to whet appetites for its 1956 cars and, by eavesdropping on car fans, to pick out salable features for its 1957 and 1958 models...
