A comparison of today's survey
findings with those reported by
the United States Poll in May,
1852 (nearly three and a half
years ago) shows that the num-
Der who say the Democratic Par
ty is better has jumped four per-
centage points, while the num-
Der who say they think the COP
is better has dropped two per
centage points.
The May, 1852, United States
Poll results on similar ques-
ton showed 45q6 saying that the
Democratic Party is better; 362
saying the Republican Party is
better; 14% saying it makes no
difference, and so saying they
don't know.

line an all-important factor in
next years political situation,
namely, the popular appeal of
the Democratic Party to rank and
file voters throughout the nation.
This appeal is particularly i'm
portant as it relates to Indepen-
dent voters - those who classify
themselves as neither Republicans
nor Democrats.
This group, constituting nearly
three out of every ten potential
voters (28%) in the U. S. A. to-
day, will undoubtedly decide the

Party is Best for People Like

By Kenneth Fink, Director

Princeton, New Jersey - Ma
tional Republican and Democratic
Party strategy committees, now
working on plans for the Novem-
Der, 1856, all-important Presiden-
tial and Congressional Elections,
can very well focus attention on
one problem: How to sell the idea
that their own political party best
serves the interests of the ma
tons voters.
Results of a nationwide United
States Poll just completed would
indicate that Democrats have
somewhat less Of a job to do
among the nations voters than
have Republicans. Plenty of spade
work, however, can still be done
by both sides.
When United States Poll staff
reporters personally asked a rep
reSentative sample of the nations
voters:
"As you feel today, which pO-
iitical party the Democratic
or Republican - do you think
serves the interests of people
like yourself better?'
The results were.

winner in the November, 1856,
Presidential elections.
A special analysis of the
opinions of the Independent voters
interviewed in today's survey
shows that those with opinions on
the matter give the nod to the
Democrats as the political party
that is better for people like
themselves.
At the same time, it must be
pointed out that one out of ev-
cry three independent voters say
either that it makes no differ
ence or that they don't know.
The Independent Vote,
Democratic Party better --.- 1870
Republican Party better -. 280
It makes no difference ..-.- 28%
Don't know ..............-............. SO
The significance of today's find
ingS for both parties is obvious.
The Republican Party has a
chance to win whenever it can
put up popular candidates, or
whenever it can hit on issues
that so strike the imagination of
large groups of people as to cause
wholesale shifts in the political
lineup.
The Democratic Party's chief
problem is that of mastering its
full party strength, that is, of
getting its greater number of
synpathizers to the Polls on
Election Day.
