POPCORN POLL: LBJ Ahead In 43 States Barrys An Elephant NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) President Johnson has popped into a commanding lead in what may well be the most unscientific political progno- sis since Aunt Agatha called the shat on Cal Coolidge on the basis of an aching corn. The presidential popcorn poll shows Johnson ahead of Barry Goldwater in 43 states, with 78 per cent of the popu- lar vote. It has Goldwater ahead in Arizona, Louisiana, Mississippi, Maryland and Utah, with Oregon and Wis- consin even. Don't laugh. It may sound corny, but the theatre-going munchers and fireside pop- pers haven't missed yet. Pollster Jim Blevins, who claims to be the world's lead- ing popcorn vender, started it all in 1948 but was almost forced to abandon the poll be- fore the second feature began. His idea was to decorate his popcorn bags with the Demo- eratic donkey and Republican ain's foreign secretary, Patrick) Gordon Walker, Harry S. Truman would win, while other -- more scienti- fic--polls were predicting a victory for Thomas E, Dewey. To the wonderment of every- body except the popcorn-eat- ing public, Truman won.
