...should have been a good week for George Bush. With the Democrats in disarray over Gary Hart, the Vice President maintains a comfortable edge over his strongest challenger, Republican Senator Robert Dole. Last week's poll for TIME by Yankelovich Clancy Shulman found Bush ahead of Dole, 40% to 20%, as the first choice of likely G.O.P. voters. After bidding Soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbachev farewell at the airport, Bush seemed to bask in the summit's afterglow. But by Friday, the front runner had stumbled over two minor mishaps and allowed his staff to make him sound like a beleaguered...
...TIME poll of likely Democratic voters taken by Yankelovich Clancy Shulman on Thursday night, two days after he announced, Hart was the first choice of 30%, compared with 22% for Jackson and 14% for Michael Dukakis. But these numbers represent the crux of the Democratic dilemma: when those surveyed were asked their impressions of each of the candidates, Hart's "unfavorable" rating was 36%. The only one higher: Jackson, with 37%. Just 51% of the probable Democratic voters said they would be likely to cast their ballots for Hart if he turns out to be the nominee, while 32% said...
Polls seem to show that consumers are worried, but not enough to change their buying behavior very much. In a telephone survey of 800 adults conducted last week for E.F. Hutton by the polling firm Yankelovich Clancy Shulman, 66% of consumers said they were "more concerned about the economy" in the wake of recent financial turbulence. But only 36% said they were more likely to hold off making major purchases. In another survey, in which the New York Times polled 1,549 adults from Oct. 29 through Nov. 3, fully 52% of those interviewed said they thought the economy...
While traders panicked and economists wrung their hands over the stock-market meltdown, the public at large seemed relatively unfazed: 70% of 810 Americans polled for TIME last Thursday by Yankelovich Clancy Shulman* said the market fall had no effect on their family's finances. Behind the general nonchalance, however, the survey found an undercurrent of anxiety: 46% said they were more worried now than before Monday's rout about America's economic future. Among the poll's findings...
Like Congress, the public seems to have lined up behind the Administration, while worrying about a wider war. In a poll taken last week for TIME by Yankelovich Clancy Shulman,* 59% of those questioned approved of the reflagging operation in the gulf, up from 53% in a similar poll last August. At the same time, 73% of those questioned thought the U.S. actions were "likely" to result in more terrorism, and 68% thought they would result in a "military exchange" between Iran and the U.S. Despite those fears, 60% of those polled were in favor of stronger retaliatory action against...
