Polls

P: Of the 10,000,000 ballots being sent out by Literary Digest in its quadrennial Presidential poll, the first batch returned --from Maine, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania--were last week reported marked as follows: Landon, 16,056; Roosevelt, 7,645; Lemke, 754. Because ballots were few, came from no metropolitan areas, and because three of the four States are normally Republican, political observers uniformly discounted Landon's 2-to-1 lead. First returns of the Digest's 1932 poll showed Hoover ahead.

P: Last week's report of the American Institute of Public Opinion showed Roosevelt up one-tenth of 1% from its poll of the previous fortnight, with 52.6% of the major party popular vote against 47.4% for Landon. Michigan and Colorado shifts to Landon were offset by Ohio's shift to Roosevelt, raising him one electoral vote to a lead of 275 to 256.
