83. This seems to be borne out by
both AIPO (Gallup) and Fortune polls.
See P.E. Jacob, “Influences of World
Events on US. Neutrality,” Public Opin-
ion Quarterly, IV (March 1940), 63-64.
84. AIPO polls: September 1938, 86
per cent thought the Allies would win;
September 1939, 82 per cent.
85. Jacob, op. cit., p. 61.
86. On an AIPO poll asking “Which
side do you think will win the war if no
other countries go into it?” only 43 per
cent said England (20 July 1940). On
the question of whether the United
States would be drawn into the war, an
AIPO poll of 15 Feb. 1940 reported:
Yes, 3 2 per cent; No, 68 per cent. For-
tune, Aug. 1940, reported: Yes, 43.8 per
cent; No, 44.8 per cent; Don’t Know,
I 1.4 per cent.
87. On this trend see Johnson, op. cit.,
chaps. iv and v. In an AIPO poll of 18
July 1940 on aid to England, 53 per cent
thought we should give more help, 41
per cent that we were giving enough
now, 6 per cent that we were giving
too much.
