The Vanishing Trend

To gauge whether organized labor and its endorsed political candidates were talking the right language to the voters, the C.I.O. had a poll taken in eight key states: California, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon and Pennsylvania. Last week the results, in eight volumes, were carefully locked up in C.I.O. international headquarters in Washington. Among the findings:

P: No major national issue has arisen this year; there is a big undecided vote.

P: Well over 50% of the voters interviewed generally approve of the Eisenhower Administration (although a high percentage feels that the Government should be doing something more to combat unemployment).

P: In general, the voters think that the 83rd Congress did a pretty good job.

P: The label "liberal" is an unpopular one for a candidate to wear.

P: A majority of the voters prefer candidates endorsed by the American Legion.

P: A substantial majority supports the United Nations, but also believes that the U.S. should break off diplomatic relations with Russia.

Totting up the results, C.I.O. analysts, with considerable disappointment, reached the obvious conclusion that there is no national trend running toward the Democratic Party.
