K: The President wanted me to call you.
H: What he wanted me to give you was the result of a poll we took yesterday
by phone. 1025 interviews, which is an accurate sample on a national basis.
On the question of whether they support the statement 65% support it, 22°
oppose it, and 15 % don't know.
K: That's higher than the withdrawal speech. The oppose are smaller.
H: It's 3 - 1 support. Very strong support.
K: He said if he got 52 % he would be doing well.
H: Ifxthex The next question was the usual "Do you approve of the way the
President is conducting his job? 11 Prior to the April 20 speech 59 % approved,
after the speech 62 % approved, and now we are back to 59 %. Statistically
it means it's kept the same. The significant thing is a polarization between
men and women. Men went up and women went down. We can't discuss
we will use some of these figures but we shouldn't range them out too widely.
