Second portion of the poll was to submit to the same persons a set of phrases which have been used to describe Nixon either in favorable terms or the reverse. Reactions to these questions, from all party affiliations, were topped with approval, by 47 per cent, of the declaration Nixon is loyal to Eisenhowers policies; 41 per cent liked his honesty and sincerity while 35 per cent approved of him because he is very intelligent. His honesty and sincerity was approved by 29 per cent Democrats, 37 per cent Republicans while his intelligence was endorsed by Democrats, 27 per cent, Independents, 34 per cent, Republicans, 54 per cent.

Physical Check Latest political highlight from the Presidential press conference was the Chief Executives announcement that he would undergo another complete physical examination before Election Day to determine that there has been no change in my situation. The President then reminded his hearers that he had previously said: If at any time I have any reason to believe that I am not fit, as I believe myself to be now, I will come before the American public and tell them. This, Pres i d e n t Eisenhower emphasized, would be his last word to his press conference on the subject of his health. Next day, Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt revealed that her husband had been assured by his physician within three months of his fourth nomination (and six months before his death from cerebral hemorrhage) that he was in good shape to undertake another term in the White House. One difference between the situations of 1944 and 1956 that most Americans will consider significant is that the 1944 check-uwas not made with any thought of publication.
