I GALLUP POLL SAYS: Voters Of Nation Cool To Thi rd Pa rty Plan Of Organized Labor Unions Only One Out Of Every Ten Polled During Nation-Wide Survey Signifies Interest In Joining; Support Among Workers One of a series of news reports on political sentiment today. By GEORGE GAELUP Director, American Institute of Public Opinion PRINCETON, N. J., Feb. 21.—If a new political party were form ed in this country by organized labor—as certain union leaders have threatened to do—how many voters would be attracted to it? Questioning of voters throughout the nation finds that about one in everv ten on the avers se would ! ' --’ be interested in supporting such a party. Thus, sentiment for a third party is slightly greater today than the Institute found in 1938 when Rob ert and Philip LaFollette an nounced their intention of starting a National Progressive Party, and slightly less than it was just before our entry into World War II, when a poll found 16 per cent willing to join a Keep-Out-of-the-War Party if one were started. The resignation of Harold Ickes, with his blast against the Truman administration, has already started talk of a possible bolt of liberal labor groups from the Democratic Party. » Since nearly three times as many Democrats as Republicans think they would join such a party, it might have an important effect in a close-election year if the neity party put up its own independent slate of candidates. To test the reaction of the coun try to a new labor party, the Insti tute asked voters from coast to coast this question in a cross-sec tion survey: “If a new national political party is organized by labor—in addition to the present Republican and Dem ocratic Parties—do you think you would join it? Yes .. 10% No ..74 No opinion_16 QUESTIONS of particular inter est to political leaders in connec tion with such a party are how many labor union members would join it, and whether it would draw voters away from the Democratic party to any appreciable extent. A GALLUP-GRAPHIC IF ANEW NATIONAL POLITICAL PARTY IS ORGANIZED BY LABOR IN ADDITION TO THE PRESENT REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC PART1ES 00 YOU THINK YOU WOULD UOIN IT? YES 10% 1 NO 74% mmu NO OPIN. 16% EACH SYMIOl REPRESENTS 10% Tne survey indicates that about one labor union member in every four would be interested in join ing a new labor party. And the drawing power of the new party would be nearly three times as great from Democratic ranks as from Republican ranks. The vote of union members polled on the new party follows: LABOR UNION MEMBERS Say they would join new party_24% Say they would not join_56 No opinion_20 The vote among men and women who express a present-day prefer ence for the Democratic or Re public Parties: Would join G.O.P. Democratic Voters Voters new party_5% 13% Would not.. 83 67 No poinion_12 20 If one out of every four union members did actually join a labor party, as the poll indicates, the party would have considerable weight in elections, since the total membership of labor unions is 15,000,000 or more. • * • THIRD PARTY movements in this country have never amounted to much since the days of Robert LaFollette the elder. In 1924 his Progressive ticket polled 17 per cent of the total vote cast for president. The next third party vote of any magnitude was for the Lemke ticket in 1936, which amounted to only about two per cent of the total vote cast. LEGION POST JOINS SERVICE EXCHANGE; MRS.
