OPINION: Was Ike Right?
Does the U.S. think President Eisenhower was right or wrong to send federal troops to guard Central High School in Little Rock, Ark.? The answer, the Gallup poll found out last week, depends partly—but not entirely—on where the question is asked. Results:
SOUTHERN NORTHERN STATES & WESTERN Right 36% 74% Wrong 53% 16% Undecided 11% 10%
And should the President have sent the troops sooner than he did? Reported Gallup nationwide:
Yes 19% No 64% Undecided 17%
* Va., N.C., S.C., Ga., Ala., Fla., Miss., La., Ark, Texas, Okla., Ky., Tenn.
