...Florida." Louisiana's Democratic Governor John McKeithan ad mits that he may well decide to back Barry. The recent Mississippi Democratic convention was filled with pro-Goldwater sentiment. Georgia's Democratic Senators Richard Russell and Herman Talmadge both predict privately that today Barry could carry their state. Pollster Sam Lubell discov ered last week that Goldwater is, as of now, running ahead of Johnson in Florida, Virginia, South Carolina and North Carolina. In Texas, Lubell found Lyndon holding an uneasy lead that could quickly vanish under the pressure of civil rights troubles...
...lick their wounds, sighing that "now we know what it is like to be caught in a tide." Boston Attorney David Goldberg, who had helped engineer Lodge's March victory in New Hampshire, took another look at the returns and muttered: "Poor Lou." He meant big-time Pollster Lou Harris, who ordinarily works for Democrats but had taken a big dabble in trying to predict Oregon's Republican vote. His election-eve guess of 34% to the winner and 28% to the runner-up was close-he just had the names in the wrong order. As it turned...

Such figures have fooled a lot of people into thinking that Goldwater was through. But no pollster has ever nominated a presidential candidate, and Goldwater has been and remains the favorite of G.O.P. professionals-the people who go to conventions...
...Joke. The argument makes little sense to most Protestants, who generally regard birth-control methods as morally neutral and the motive for using them all-important. Many lay Catholics also find the church's reasoning fallacious, and Pollster Lou Harris reported in February that by a 3-to-2 margin a sampling of U.S. Catholics wanted to see a change in their church's attitude toward birth control. Rhythm, they argue, is unreliable and moreover, its complement of thermometers, charts and calendar watching makes any theological defense of the method as "natural" seem like a bad semantic joke...
