Pol! Says Ike's Popularity Down.
But 59 Percent Still "like Ike"
8| Kenneth Fink. Director
Priroeton Research Service
PRINCETON, N. J. ? Presi
dent Eisenhower Is still popular
. with rank and file voters across
the nation, but somewhat less so
than he was nine weeks- ago.
Nearly three out of every five
voters questioned In the nation
wide survtey Just completed say
they approve of the way the na
tion's chief executive is handling
his duties.
Nearly three in ten say they
disapprove.
The rest express no opinion.
/ When United States Poll staff
reporters asked a representative
cross - section of the nation's
voters: "Do you approve or dis
approve of the way Eisenhower
Is handling his Job as President?"
These were the nationwide re
sults:
EISENHOWER POPULARITY -
Approve _ 59%
Disapprove 28%
No opinion 13%
The October United States Poll
survey showed 67 per cent appro
val, 26 per cent disapproval, and
7 per cent no opinion.
Today's findings thus represent
an 8 per cent decrease in approv
al, a 2 per cent Increase in disap
proval, and a 6 per dent increase
in the no opinion vote over the
past nine weeks.
Today's survey was inducted
using methods which proved ac
curate within 1.2 per cent In es
timating the outcome of the na
tionwide Congressional election In
November. .
Survey finds show that an over
whelming majority of the na
tion's GOP voters approve of Mr.
Eisenhower, but that among Dem.
ocrats across the nation, the vote
is, very closely divided.
Among rank and file Indepen
dents, 59 per cent approve.
Here is the vote in today's sur
vey by those who classify them
selves as Republicans, Democrats,
or Independents:
Rep. Dem. Indep.
Approve 87% 43% 59%
Disapprove 10% 42% 23%
No opinion 3 15% 18%
Since he has been in office,
President Eisenhower's populari
ty has ranged from today's low
of 59 per cent to a high of 74 per
thing for you and your
(amity ? M not only during
the Holiday Season/
but afw&ys... this
is our sinccr? wish.

Children's Home
Fund Campaign
Said Lagging
GREENSBORO ? The Christ
mas Fund Drive of The Children's
Home Society fell behind lor the
first time this week with contri
butions amounting to $23,549.90
through Friday, December 17, the
19th day of the drive, according
to Charles' W. Gold, Jr., president
of the society's board of directors.
The Increase In the humber of
new contributors this year indi
cates a new public awareness to
the need for good adoption work,
but the decrease In the amount of
contributions has caused the cur
rent campaign to lag behind last
year's drive.
Harriet L,. Tynes, executive di
rector of the society, attributes
much of the Increased interest to
J the work of 79 Junior Woman's
clubs In North Carolina who a
dopted the Society as a state pro
ject five years ago. Through ar
ranging meetings featuring the
Society, through conducting mem
bership drives and benefits for
the Society in non-Chest areas,
the Junior Women have served
as unofficial representatives of
j the Society.
The Society as the only state
wide, voluntarily - supported a
doption agency in North Carolina
licensed to help children from
every county, receives no tax mo
ntey and operates entirely on gifts.
During the year ending Septem
ber 30, the society gave services
to six children from Cleveland
County and 19 couples seeking to
adopt $ child. .
The agency must receive $50,
000, approximately one-third of
its $151,000 budget, at Christmas
time if it is to give its services to
over 500 children in North Caro
lina during 1955.
Last year a total of 478 babies
and school-age children In orph
anages were helped by the So
ciety's staff of 14 caseworkers,
working for the most part out of
Greensboro, and out of district
offices in Wilmington and Ashe
ville.
The Society exacts to receive
another third of Its budget from
35 United Funds which Include it
as a member agency. Since many
of the funds have not met their
goal this year reducing the So
ciety's share proportionately, this
source of income may fall short
of the $55,000 anticipated. This
increases the Importance of meet
ing the full goal of the Christmas
drive.
