The UNC political scientist who predicted that the Democrats have a good chance of capturing the na tional election, and challenged Pollster George Gallup to disprove his prediction, has as yet received no answer from Dr. Gallup. Gordon B. Cleveland, in voicing prediction that Democrats may win the election even if President Eisenhower gets as much as 53 per cent of the popular vote, chal lenged Gallup to make a state-by-state break-dewn of voter opinions in order to reveal a true picture of voting trends. Although Cleveland's prediction has not produced a direct answer from Gallup, it has evoked con siderable interest from the Demo cratic Party and from newspaper reporters and radio nevvscaster.s all over the country. The heart of Cleveland's study is a comparison of the 1953 presi dential election returns with the 1954 mid-term elections in 2C states which went Republican in 1954. On the basis of this study. Cleveland contends that the Dem ocrats stand a good chance of get ting a majority of electoral votes, thus giving them the election.
