A nationwide test poll of politi-

that new deal strength is waning
generally and that IT states, pos

definitely hostile to the admins
tration. -
Figures released by the Liter

that President Roosevelt's policies
retain a fractional majority OF
nationwide support.
Observers had difficulty IN
translating the poll directly INTO

Personalities in the various states
will be determining factors.
States showing anti-new deal ma

were: Arizona, Connecticut, Illi-

oped as a fuel.
