...Changing Poll. The first Gallup poll since the conventions showed a surprising switch. Just before the Democratic Convention. Kennedy led 52 to 48. Last week's poll showed Nixon 50%, Kennedy 44%, undecided 6%. Nixon forces were concerned as well as pleased by the poll. They privately agreed with the Kennedy forces that it was probably taken too soon after the impact of Nixon's successful acceptance speech to be a steady indicator, and feared a downturn next time. Nixon forces are convinced that the "undecideds" are far more than 6%-perhaps 25% of the vote...
...Secrets of Long Life, by Dr. George Gallup and Evan Hill (Geis; $2.95). Longevity statistics that a newspaper could summarize in half a column, padded to book length by some extraordinarily foolish anecdotes and a questionnaire in which the reader can test his chances of living long enough to see publishing get even worse...

Last week's Gallup poll of party preference among five major occupation groups shows that since 1952 the G.O.P. has won few new friends and lost some old ones...

Gallup pollsters last week found more prospective conservatives (45%) than prospective liberals (43%). Omitting the undecided (12%), conservatives (51%) edged liberals (49%) nationally, with this region-by-region breakdown...
Voters are more sensitive to shifts in foreign affairs than to any other issue thus far in the campaign, Pollster George Gallup indicated last week. Last year Democrat Jack Kennedy led Republican Richard Nixon by a wide 61% to 39% in July. Nixon came back to capture a 51 to 49 edge in September, just after his finger-wagging "kitchen debate" with Nikita Khrushchev in Moscow. Since then, the two have seesawed back and forth, a few points apart. Gallup's latest poll showed Kennedy leading 52 to 48 in surveys conducted just after the blowup of President Eisenhower...
