‘FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1938
By DR. GEORGE GALLUP
Director, ‘American Institute of Public Opinion EW YORK, Nov. 4.—The spectacular rise in President Roosevelt's popularity which followed his peace plea to Hitler last month has been - short-lived. With the national election four days off, the American Institute of Public Opinion’s scientific samplings reveal a sharp slump in the President’s popularity since mid-October. The Institute’s index now
was after the ill-fated . Democratic “purges” of August and September with only a slight
net gain carried over from the few weeks when the President was widely hailed as an international peace maker.

that, as noted in other Institute surveys, a public reaction has set in against the four-power peace settlement of Munich. At first there was a feeling of relief and elation when. the war clouds had been removed and President Roosevelt was given wide praise for his messages to Hitler and other European leaders urging a. peaceful settlement of the Czech crisis. The immediate result was an increase in his ‘popularity. But since that time a growing number of voters, as Institute reports show, have begun to feel that the Munich settlement will not bring peace, but only greater. possibility of war. This belief is undoubtedly a major factor in the decline of the President's popularity. ; . It is a good illustration of how a crisis and a series of dramatic events can change public opinion, for the rise and consequent drop in Mr. Roosevelt's popularity within one month have been the sharpest ever noted by the Institute in four and a half years of measuring Mr. Roosevelt's political standing. : si ” # ” . . HEN the nation voted on Congress and on the President two years ago, Mr. Roosevelt was supported by a major party vote of 62.5 per cent. The figure today—54.4 per cent—therefore represents an eight-point drop. During the two-year interval there have been two major periods of decline in his popularity. ; ’ The first was set off by the sit-down strikes in the winter of 1937 and the fight over the Supreme Court plan which began soon after—in February, 1937. The drop continued until June for a net loss of approximately five points. No sooner had the line risen again tc a new peak
of 63 per cent in October than the business recession came

Nine Appeal to Kidler
Following a drop to a low of 53.3 per cent after the Democratic “purge” campaign, President Roosevelt’s popularity rose sharply when the White House appealed to Hitler to avoid war. Today, Roosevelt's popularity as measured by the American Institute of Public Opinion has slumped sharply again, is now 54.4 per cent.. The President was elected in 1936 with 62.5 per cent of the major party vote. Mr. Roosevelt is shown here conferring with Secretary of War Woodring (left) and, Secretary.of State Hull at a Cabinet meeting during the recent European crisis.
and the second period of decline began, carrying the President down nearly eight points in eight months. Today, even though there has been an imprévement in business conditions, the majority of voters are not in a better frame of mind, economically. The Institute has just completed a survey, for example, in which it asked: “Considering your income and cost of living, do you feel you are better off today than you were a year ago?” The replies are nearly two to one in the negative.

There were gains ranging from four points in the South and Midwest to 10 points -along the Pacific Coast. Today, the drops by sections are almost as sharp as the
