THURSDAY. NOVKMnKRjUWW PAGE TWELVE HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON Papers Outdo Pollsters in Predicting Election; No One Foresaw the Avalanche of Eisenhower Votes NEW YORK WV Several news paper aurveya outdid the profes sional pollsters this year on the presidential election. However, no body's ear caught the rumble of the advancing- Eisenhower land slide. The Oallup, Roper and Crossley polls all seemed to give Dwlght p. Elsenhower an edge during the hours before Tuesday's election. But none flatly, picked him. The onlv professional poll that did was Kenneth Fink s Princeton Research Service. But his margin was far short of the actual one. An Associated Press survey of editors across the nation allowed Elsenhower the probable winner In 20 states, and with an edge, in eight with a total of 327 electoral votes'. He actually carried all 28 Slam'uel Lubell. who firvev pre-election sentiment for the Bcrlpps-Howard netttipe.. . s j in advance that Eisenhower "should win." Lubell terms him self a reporter and not a pollster, and he said he rang doorbells in strategic communities. He found a definite switch from those who voted lor President Truman tn 1948 to Elsenhower hi 1952. "There never was any doubt tn my mind about Eisenhower." he said after the election gave Uie general 39 states and 445 electoral votes. Democrat Adloi E. Steven son got iiine states and 89 electoral votes. ' ' Another newsman, David Law rence, Washington correspondent, surveyed editors of dally news oaueis in every state. In his daily column syndicated by the New York Herald Tribune on Nov. S, he gave 357 electoral votes to El senhower and 149 to Stevenson, The New York Times published a state-by-state survey the same day and found 23 states with 256 electoral votes favoring or leaning toward Eisenhower. Stevenson was ahead or favored In 16 states with 15 votes. Nine states with 110 votes were listed as doubtful. The final story of the Associated Press survey, appearing In Sunday newspapers, Oct. 26, started this way: "Newsmen over the nation be lieve 1952 would go down as a Re publican year with Oen. Dwlght D. Eisenhower the probable winner over Gov. Adlat E. Stevenson, If the presidential election had been held tn mid-October. "Newspaper editors and political correspondents who made two po litical surveys for the Associated Press clocked Elsenhower as lead ing the residential sweepstakes around Labor Day. They estimate he has picked up strength since then In 30 of 48 slates." In 11 states, the AP survey showed newsmen picking Steven son Uie probable winner. These in cluded Alabama, Arkansas, Geor gia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and West Virginia, which Stevenson did win. Also Missouri, Ariiona and Okla homa, which went to Eisenhower. Five states Massachusetts, Ten nessee, Utah, Virginia and Wash ingtonwere classified In AP sur veys as doubtful with an edge to Stevenson. All were tnken by Eisenhower. There were four ttwsups In the AP survey tabulation. Eisenhower took three of them Florida. Rhode Island and Texas. Stevenson got the other Louisiana. Among professional pollsters, Fink gave Eisenhower a little over 50 per cent of the popular vole and Stevenson a little over 48 per cent. George Gallup, director of the American Institute of Public Opin ion, presented pre-election figures which gave Elsenhower a 7 per cent edge on Stevenson but listed 13 per cent of the electorate as un decided. Gallup admitted afterwards he underestimated the Republican victory, but said his poll "stayed within its normal margin of error." Archibald M. Crossley, director of the Crossley Poll, said a few hours before the election that it "can still go either way." However, his figures gave Elsen hower about a .1 nor cent edge over Stevenson with 9.0 per cent undecided. He said afterwards the big Re publican eflort to get out Uie vole apparently turned the trick. Elmo Roper, head of the Roiw Poll, did not try to break down the pre-election findings Into er ceutages. He said, Instead. "There ouirlu, to be enough people still undecided to .throw tills election cither way." 11c conceded alter the election he was "open to the charge of being overly cautious this year." "1 made no prediction," he add ed, "and I don't ever intend to make a prediction until those un decided people tell us what they Intend to do." rgnni for vry nttd i'omplfl lint ( tuutJt'a .niltumtnU vtur bUwl tfttltr kylt morgan pianos t Main Civil Service Slates Tests Th. us Civil Service has an nounced examinations are to be j held lor geologists positions in the !
