GUESS WE LL HAVE TO HOLD
THE ELECTION AFTER ALL
(Philadelphia Record)
Just before the Democratic
convention, the Gallup poll show
ed that if the race were Roose
velt vs. Willkie, the vote would
be Roosevelt, 54 percent, and
Willkie, 46 percent.
That compared with the 1936
poll of the identical date, which
was as follows: Roosevelt, 51.8;
Landon, 48.2.
Now comes the second Gallup
pol lof the current campaign, and
it shows Roosevelt with 51 per
cent of the popular vote, Willkie
with 49 percent—
But Willkies is listed as carry
ing 24 states having 304 electoral
I votes, as against Roosevelt with
24 states having only 227 elector
al votes. Ergo, if the election
were today, Willkie would win.
But Dr. Gallup admits that a
survey in 1936 of the same date
showed Landon leading in elec
toral votes.
We think it’s healthy for folks
to understand that polls such as
these not only can’t be 100 per
cent accurate, tout that .the head
lines over them in the newspa
pers can be written to make the
figures “seem what they ain’t.”
For example, in. this latest Gal
lup poll, the various states are
listed only as “leaning toward
Willkie” or “leaning toward Ro
osevelt.” That’s the way they
were listed in the final Gallup
poll of tlhe 1936 campaign, al- i
though all the states “leaning” |
toward Landon turned out to'
have leaned for Roosevelt in the
vote, including one state —New
Hampshire—listed “sure” for Lan
don. And Dr. Gallup’s final late
October estimate of the popular
vote for Roosevelt was only 53.8
way 9hort of the 60 percent he
actually got.
Gallup’s poll however, was far 1
and away the most accurate of j
the ’36 polls, the Digest debacle
still being a grim memory, while i
the polls of the Farm Journal,
Cleveland News, etc., all foozled
after having handed the victory
in advance to Alf.
Yes, polls are interesting, But
after the results of ’36, it’s well
to remember that they’re far
from conclusive, and that on a
poll vc-te of 54 percent for Roose
velt and 46 for Willkie, a Repub
lican headline writer could say:
“Willkie Begins Race with
Nearly Half of Nation’s Popular
Vote”—
And a Democratic headline
writer could say: “Roosevelt’s
Straw Poll Majority Bigger Than
in 1936”—
And both would be telling the
truth.
