FORTUNE POLL
 FAVORS ROOSEVELT

NEW YORK - The latest For tune Magazine survey of public opinion indicated that despite the intensive Republican cam paign President Roosevelt has dropped only two p -rcent in pop ular favor during the last six weeks. The survey showed that as the Presidential campaign en- tered the home stretch, Presi- dsnt Roosevelt's popularity was 57 percent among persons with different opinions on the major party candidates.
 The majority is considered i'm preSsive, although not so large as Roosevelt's majority in 1886. Roosevelt'S heaviest support was said to come from the south and west but the contest was describ ed as much closer in the more vital areas of New England, the middle Atlantic and central stat es. Fortune said Wendell Will kie has various leads in these areas, which might possibly be translated by the Republicans in to an electoral college majority.
 The national business maga- zine added, however that 66 per cent of the public expects Roose- welt to win, regardless of their personal preference, as opposed to IS percent who feel that Will kie will emerge victorious.
