...unionize the employees, the time seems ripe for a union victory. Because the initial effort was defeated by only 50 swing votes in 1977 after a three-year battle in which both sides pulled out all the stops, the vigorous campaign being conducted by District 65 should rally worker sentiment behind the union. District 65 will probably file for the right to hold an election with the National Labor Relations Board sometime this fall...
...most dramatic findings of the survey came from a more indirect probing of voter sentiment-and it looks potentially helpful to Carter. In the survey's "state of the nation" indicator, which measures how people feel about the way things are going in the country in general and how much confidence they have in the future, voters are becoming increasingly optimistic. While only 11% took a positive view of the nation's well-being in May, 21% are upbeat now. As the incumbent, Carter would presumably benefit from any continued upsurge in optimism, which seems centered...

That is a shock treatment that may be easier to accomplish by decree than by voting." It seems for now a sentiment that most Liberians endorse...
West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt once broke into tears in the presence of a friend, so distraught was he over his conviction that Carter did not grasp his true responsibility as leader of the U.S. The world drifts toward war, believes Schmidt, with Carter uncomprehending.

George Gallup, the dean of the opinion samplers, who has been measuring voter sentiment since 1936, found just 15 days ago that Carter had only 21% approval, eclipsing Richard Nixon's 24% and Harry Truman's 23%, the other lows. In the data that Pollster Louis Harris has assembled is even worse news. On no single issue surveyed does Carter have a majority of voters who stand up and say they like him. Question the American people now about the hostages in Iran...
