...postcard polls of the party faithful always brought forth the desired results, was cheered last week by a presidential preference survey of 200,000 registered New York State Democrats. The reported results: 81% for De Sapio's man, Governor Averell Harriman, and 14% for Adlai Stevenson. In the Gallup poll, the Democratic picture was different: 55% for Stevenson, 16% for Tennessee's Senator Estes Kefauver and only 6% for Harriman. Whatever the figures, the fight last week was on. While the Keef doggedly mugged his way around the world (see PEOPLE), Adlai and Averell came out of their...
...midweek, Pollster George Gallup disclosed the results of his latest survey. It showed Dwight Eisenhower then leading Adlai Stevenson by 61% to 39%, as against a 55%-45% ratio in 1952's election. Since Democrats conceded an Eisenhower candidacy in 1956 as highly probable, the Gallup poll was merely another evidence of an already-clear political fact: that the chances of the Democratic Party for next year were poor...
...George Gallup, casting about for some light summer questions to ask the public, tried this one: "Who would be the victor if the two greatest votegetters of all time-Dwight D.

...PRESIDENCY To Be or Not Dwight D. Eisenhower was at a pinnacle of his popularity. A Gallup poll, the first to be taken since the Geneva Conference at the Summit, showed that nearly eight out of ten Americans-more than ever before-approved of the way the President was doing his job. The news brought joy to Republican hearts and an inevitable renewal of the big question: Will Ike run again in 1956? The rumors, speculations, and informed guesses buzzed through sweltering Washington last week. In the midst of them, Ike was uncomfortably enigmatic-a role he thoroughly dislikes...
...latest sally into the educational alley, the Gallup poll decided that the average U.S. college graduate has a knowledge of geography unworthy of an eight-year-old. Of those questioned, about eight in ten could not locate Bulgaria, nearly seven flunked on Rumania, nearly six did not recognize Yugoslavia or Austria, half flubbed on Poland. One out of twelve not only missed these, but Spain, France and England as well...
