Poll: Bricker choice of GOP in Ohio for nomination
Dewey gains in popularity among Republican voters in buckeye state
By George Gallup, Director, American Institute of Public Opinion
Republican voters in the state of Ohio think highly of their Governor, John W. Bricker. He is their first choice for the Republican presidential nomination ahead of Governor Thomas E. Dewey, Gen. Douglas MacArthur, and Wendell Willkie.
The present survey in Ohio covered all sections of the state and an accurate cross-section of all those who state a preference for the Republican Party. These voters were asked which men mentioned frequently as Republican presidential possibilities they would prefer as the nominee this year of their part.
Taft not included
Here is the way the vote in the present poll comes out, as compared to a similar poll published in November.
| Today | November 1943 | |
|---|---|---|
| Bricker | 41% | 40% |
| Dewey | 25% | 18% |
| MacArthur | 18% | 16% |
| Willkie | 11% | 16% |
| Stassen | 3% | 3% |
| Eric Johnston | 2% | 7% |
The poll, it should be noted, does not fully reflect the impact of Governor Bricker’s public appearances since launching his campaign in Washington recently.
Willkie drops
As the above table shows, Governor Dewey has gained in popularity since November. In the earlier poll, he won 18% of the vote. Today, he has 25%.
Gen. MacArthur is now the third most popular Republican candidate, Wendell Willkie fourth.

Eine treffende Schilderung –
Der Invasionsgeneral
vb. Lissabon, 3. März –
Die englische Zeitschrift News Review beschreibt den Invasionsgeneral Eisenhower wie folgt:
In Afrika leuchtete er in flammenden Farben sogar in der Umgebung der farbenprächtigen Mittelmeerszenerie. Seine sorgfältig gebügelte Uniform schien immer eben erst vom Schneider gekommen zu sein. Die Falten seines Tropenhemdes saßen tadellos. Sein prächtiger, graubraun lackierter Wagen wurde von einem dunkelhaarigen, geschmeidigen und erstklassig gekleideten Mädchen geführt.
