S. 22% liked Willkie more than they had at the time of the election, 14% liked him less, 64% had not changed their opinion. Most significant figures: 24% of the Willkie voters liked him less than they had before he visited England and endorsed the Lend-Lease Bill, 14% liked him more, while 31% of the Roosevelt voters liked Willkie more than they had during...
