Polls

> The Gallup poll reported that President Kennedy's popularity dropped to a new low of 62%--down five points from the last previous survey--just before the recent race riots in Oxford, Miss. In the South, Kennedy's rating sagged to 52% --down 13% from early September.

> The Minneapolis Tribune gave ten-term Republican Representative Walter Judd a 52% to 43% lead over Donald Fraser, the Democratic-Farmer-Labor challenger. Last December the state legislature gerrymandered Judd's district by adding to it some heavily D.F.L. Minneapolis wards.

> Denver Post polltakers found Democratic Governor Stephen McNichols running far behind Republican John A. Love. The count: 53% to 37%. At the same time. Democratic Senator John Carroll led Republican Representative Peter Dominick by 53% to 35%,. Among those considered most likely to vote, Love led McNichols 60% to 32%, and Carroll and Dominick stood at 46% each.

> Pollster Sam Lubell, who doesn't use figures, reported that Republican Richard Nixon and Democrat Pat Brown are run ning "a fifty-fifty tossup" race for Governor of California. In the East, said Lubell, President Kennedy's support of Democratic candidates for Governor is doing them little good: New York's Republican Governor Nelson Rockefeller. Ohio Candidate James A. Rhodes and Pennsylvania Candidate William W. Scranton (see cover) are each getting significant support from voters who backed Kennedy in 1960.
