U.S. At War: Iowa Turns

War or no war, President Roosevelt’s majority is slipping fast, according to a new Des Moines Register poll. How Iowans would vote: Roosevelt, 45%; “best Republican,” 43%; undecided, 12%. Two months ago 51% favored F.D.R. when asked the same question.

On the GOP side: Iowans’ choices for “best Republican”: Willkie (who visited the state during balloting), 34%; Dewey, 30%. In the previous poll Dewey led Willkie.
