Dewey's
Gallup Poll
Discredifed

New York, N. Y.-The greatest
Of all public opinion students,
Thomas E. Dewey, will gain little
comfort from the latest survey Of
the poll takers.
Just when the Republican big
wigs, on the basis Of no fact and
much fantasy, were Growing about
labor's disaffection with the Demo
cratic candidates. Fortune maga-
zine, organ Of big business. pops up
with an analysis Of labor newspa-
pers showing "a per cent favoring
the reelection of President Roose-
Welt with only Ave per cent dispos.
ed toward Dewey-thus pricking
another Republican bubble.
To emphasize Dewey's failure to
win labor's vote, the Fortune poll
showed that not q single CIO or
AFL international or local union
journal favored the Republican cam
didate. His chief support came from
Independent union papers. and even
Of these only 30 per cent backed
him. Proving the success OF the
CIO Political Action Committees
educational drive, CIo journals
were more fortnight In their sup
port OF FDR. But In no case was
there an evidence Of concrete Dew
ey backing.
The Fortune survey further re.
yealed that labor Is learning fast
where the roots Of Its economic
troubles rest. In a separate analy-
sis OF major grievances, 1t noted
that 63 per cent pointed the finger
toward members Of Congress-.
Even the Gallup Poll, by which
Dewey swears. reported In its lat.

% states with Dewey ahead in 20
Quite subtly, Mr.. Gallup tries to
paint a brighter picture for the
COP nominee, remarking that In
several of the IL states leaning to
Roosevelt, a shift of two per cent
I'm sentiment would place them In
Dewey's camp. But nary word to
the effect that Dewey faces the
same situation in seven states. Darn
clever, these poll experts!
A check on the 1910 Gallup Poll,
at a corresponding time, should 81
ience any Republican claims Of a
nationwide sweep. In late August
of that year. FDR led Wendell Will
kie in states, % to 20. although
trailing in electoral votes. 284 to
DAT. A month later Roosevelt had
won ten additional states and held
an overpowering lead Of 453 to 7S
In electoral votes.
The highly accurate Elmo Roper
poll in Fortune recently showed the
President backed by 52.5 per cent
Of the public while Dewey was APP
proved by only 439 per cent.
And II this weren't enough to
convince the COP the jig's up, the
nations newspapers have pledged
to fight Roosevelt. Considering that
FDR was bucksd by most of the
major papers in the 1895 and 1910
campaigns, their current stand OF
two-to-one against FDR Is q surs
sign he's q winner.
