Election Polls

Pollsters got busy on Britain's general election. The British Gallup Poll began sampling early last month. Chief (arid purely hypothetical) question: "If Liberals, Labor, Common Wealth, Independent Labor Party and the Communist Party united as a Popular Front against the Conservatives at the next general election . . . which would you be most likely to vote for, the Popular Front candidate or the Conservative?"

Score: Popular Front: 55%; Conservative: 24%; Don't Know: 21%.

No Popular Front in the British election is likely.

Last week Conservative Lord Beaver-brook's London Daily Express published the result of a straw vote conducted by its election bureau in 487 of Britain's 640 constituencies. The score, a more practical pointer than the Gallup Poll findings, gave the Conservative Party 53 seats more than all other parties combined.
