DEMOCRATIC PREFERENCE
(N.Z.P.A.-Reuter —Copyright) WASHINGTON, Nov. 28. Senator Robert Kennedy was given a 52 to 32 per cent lead over President Johnson in a public opinion poll published yesterday on the people’s choice for Democratic candidate in next year’s presidential election. The poll, conducted by public opinion analyst Mr Louis Harris and published in the “Washington Post,” said the basic fact about Democratic politics today was that when President Johnson’s political fortunes waned Senator Kennedy’s rose. The Senator also benefited to a degree from the memory of his brother, the late President John Kennedy. Many Americans, the poll reported, still wondered how President Kennedy would have handled present problems and President Johnson tended to suffer in the comparison.
