...Gallup poll reported that 50% of the U. S. public go to church less often than their parents did; 18% more often; 32% "about the same." Asked whether interest in religion was increasing or decreasing, only 27% of farmers and 29% of small-town residents thought that interest had increased, but 42% of city dwellers thought so.

The Germans, who were disliked by only 17.3% of the people in 1935, were disliked by 30% in 1938. If the U. S. does go to war at all, then, it will be to scotch the dictators...
...public opinion that the U. S. verges on war on the side of the democracies against the dictators does not mean that the U. S. wants to go to war. On the question of whether the U. S. should remain neutral in another European War, 69% of the Gallup questionees voted yes and 95% would not "go into another such war as 1917."
