VOTING INCREASES
Literary Digest Reflects Mounting
Disapproval of National
Administration.
The vote against the New Deal increases
markedly as over 300,000
more ballots are reported In the latest
tally of The Literary Digest poli
bringing the total vote so far, which
appears in the current issue of the
magazine, to 1,688,4.G2.
In answer to the poll question of
"Do you now approve the acts and
policies of the Roosevelt "New Deal"
to date," 643,514 are shown marked
"yes" and the balance of 1,044,949,
or 61.S9 per cent,, are tabulated as
balloting "no."
The vote in support of the New
Deal has declined from 46.72 per cent,
in the first report to 38.11 per cent.
In this week'3 tabulation.
Thirty-six states, which represent
399 cut of a total of 531 electoral
votes, continue to express disapproval
, of the adminstrat.ion's policies in the
latest returns. The other twelve, ail
southern and border states with ine
exception of Utah, still voice approval
of the President's policies
The additional ballots tabulated
currently indicate a larger affirmative
vote for the New Deal in eleven
states and a decreased percentage in
the thirty-seven other states since
the previous week's report. The only
sharp declines are noted In New York
and New Hampshire.
Mississippi and South Carolina give
a 70-80 per cent, majority for tire
New Deal, while six other 3tatcs give
a 00-70 per cent, approval and four
more states show a percentage of
00-60 in support of the administration's
policies.
Massachusetts is the only state
registering more than SO per cent,
disapproval of the New Deal. The i
five other New England states and j
New Jersey are shown voting 70-80 I
per cent, negatively. Fifteen more, j
states are in the 00-70 per cent.!
bracket and the balance of fourteen
states are balloting 50-50 per cent,
against the administration's policies.
A close vote is indicated in only
tTO 1 vai- '
?...vu ii.T.vA-.-rm^e, Uivmauillil. JUKI IV4U- j
rida with 50.55 per cent, against the
.Vow Deal; Utah with a 51.10 percentage
and Virginia with a 52.50
per cent, vote in support of the New
Denl. All other slates give over a 55 ;
per cent, majority to or against.
New England, as a section, votes
more than 3 to 1 anti-New Deal so
fur in the poll.
The Middle Atlantic states of New
'*i York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
. Delaware, Maryland, and West Virginia,
which gave the President a
combined 51 per cent, majority in
hi3 1032 election, are now indicated
in the poll as opposed to his New
Deal policies by more than 2 to 1.
The south as a section, supports
the New Deal by nearly 3 to 2.
The twelve states in the farm belt
show a 3 to 2 majority against the
Roosevelt policies.
In the eight states of the Rocky
Mountain section approximately 3 of
! every 5 voters arc shown registering
disapproval, and the ratio of the three
Pacific Coast states is virtually the
same.
A table of how the poll participants
voted in 1932 and another upon how
each state voted in the 1934 Literary
Digest New Deai Doll, which annears
in the current issue of the magazine
shows the voters' defections in de|
tail:
[ "With nearly 1,700,000 Americans
i ' represented this week in the eighth
report of The Literary Digest's poll
of New Deal strength today," the
magazine states in its latest issue,
"the heavy balloting shows a further
increase in the majority opposed to
administration policies,
"Turning to the larger ones, we
find New York represented by 182,184
votes, as compared with 50,680
last week. Its 'no' percentage has
leaped from 65.30 to 67.91.
"Pennsylvania, which also appeared
in the table for the first time last
week, maintains about the same negative
percentage?68.81?on the basis
of 143,207 votes.
"Most heavily opposed of all tire
forty-eight is Massachusetts which
gives a 'yes* vote of only 19.70 per
cent., while Mississippi is most loyal
to the New Deal, giving it a majority
of 72.61.
"As a unit. New England with its
six states, is striking more sharply
at adminstration 'acts and policies'
than any other section of the country.
Its disapproving percentage is 77.93.
"With the poll in full blast, The
Literary Digest notes what it knew j
was Inevitable?that criticism of the
poll is in full blast also. It is the
same in every poll and the charges j
always run about the same: 'unfair"
?'partisan'?'sold-out'. Once again
we will simply point to the record
of previous Literary Digest polls and
