Polls

>As measured by the Gallup poll, President Kennedy's popularity has been declining since last March, when it reached a high for the year of 79%. In August it had dropped to 66%. Last week the latest poll showed that the downtrend had stopped; now 67% of U.S. voters approve of the way Kennedy is handling his job.

>The latest Detroit News poll on Republican George Romney's bid to unseat Democratic Governor John Swainson in Michigan places Romney ahead, 50.5% to 48.8%.

>Republican hopes for congressional gains in the Midwest are pinned partly on the belief that farmers are unhappy about federal farm policy, now administered by a Democratic Administration. This belief was bolstered by a Minnesota poll showing that only 35% of the state's farmers approve of the way Agriculture Secretary Orville Freeman, a former Minnesota Governor, is performing his duties.
