Show aWiraiT&Sia Gallup Poll --U- Tbe Salt Lake Tribune, Kennedy Defeats Bush by Small Margin In Hypothetical Presidential Election By George Gallup Jr. and those 50 Similarly, the votes of 18- - to and older are very evenly divided. Kennedys 50 percent to 38 percent lead among 30- - to therefore, contributes importantly to his overall edge over the vice president. As might be expected, Bush makes his strongest showand upper-incom- e ing among the college-educate- d groups and in households headed by business and professional workers. The race is a statistical tie among men, high school n housegraduates, Protestants, members of holds and middle-incom- e families, and among Midwesterners and Southerners. Consequently, Kennedy owes his modest national lead e over Bush to his strength among constituents of the Democratic coalition: blue-collworkers, Cathomembers of labor-unio- n lics, the less lower-incom- e households, groups and, blacks. Kennedy also enjoys slightly greater appeal among women than among men, and somewhat more strength in the eastern and western regions. Each possible candidate receives the votes of about s of his own party members, with Independents votes fairly evenly split. Following are the questions asked and the key findings in table form: Suppose the 1988 presidential election were being held today. If George Bush were the Republican candidate and Edward Teddy Kennedy were the Democratic candidate, which would you like to see win? Those who mentioned other candidates or were undecided were then asked: As of today, do you lean more to Bush, the Republican, or to Kennedy, the Democrat? PRINCETON, N.J. In an early sounding for the 1988 presidential election, potential Democratic candidate Sen. Edward Kennedy is the public's narrow choice over Vice President George Bush, a frontrunner for the Republican nomination. In this recent experimental election, Kennedy receives 47 percent of the votes to Bushs 41 percent, with 12 percent undecided. In a similar mock election in April 1982, before President Reagan had announced his plans, Kennedy led Bush by a slightly larger 52 percent to 41 percent margin. That contest, unlike the current one, was conducted only among registered vot-- ; ers. The closeness of the current Kennedy-Bus- h trial heat is accentuated by the fact that among whites the race is a statistical draw, with Bush receiving 45 percent of the white vote and Kennedy, 43 percent. The nearly monolithic black vote, 78 percent for Kennedy to 11 percent for Bush, suffices to give the Massachusetts senator his narrow overall margin. non-unio- old-lin- ar d, three-fourth- Study Says Abortion Claimed Quarter Of All Pregnancies NEW YORK (AP) h of all pregnancies in the United States were ended by abortion in 1981, according to a study by The Alan Guttmacher Institute. The proportion 1,577,340 abortions out of was the same as in the pregnancies, or 26 percent previous year, the study said. The largest proportion of abortions, 35.2 percent, was found in the 20 to 24 age category, according to the nonprofit research organization, which is associated with Planned Parenthood. The report said 81.1 percent of the abortions were obtained by unmarried women. About 51 percent of the abortions were performed within eight weeks of conception and 91 percent within three months of conception, according to the Manhattan-base- d institute. The study found that white women, as the nations largest racial group, accounted for about 70 percent of all the abortions performed in 1981. However, the abortion rate for minorities, 56 out of every 1.000 women, still was more than twice the rate for whites, 24 out of every 1.000. The breakdown by age category: Under 15 years, 1 percent of the total. Ages 15 to 19, 27.5 percent. Ages 20 to 24. 35.2 percent. Ages 25 to 29, 20 percent. Ages 30 to 34. 10.6 percent. Over 35. 5.7 percent. The study also found that 6 percent of all abortion patients obtained their procedures in states where they were not residents, reflecting a lack of services available near their homes. It was the same proportion as in 1980. About 35 percent of the women had obtained more than one abortion. One-fourt- Bush Vs.

Physicists believe that each proton contains three auarks, which also are spinning. Krisch said recent experiments usr, ing a synchrotron, or at Brookhaven National Labortory in New York revealed that the most violent collisions occur only when the protons are spinning clockwise. Earlier experiments showed that two protons experience violent collisions when they spin in the same direction, but no one knew that the direction had to be clockwise and not the other way. When the particles are atom-smashe- ing protons determines the violence of the resulting smashup. Krisch told physicists attending a national meeting of the American Physical Society that the spin of colliding protons is more important than previously believed.

I don't mean the farmers, who have had some very difficult times. I am talking about homeowners who struggle on weekends for mastery over some fractional acre of land so small that most farmers probably couldn't turn their plow around on it. As we putter in our yard, it's nice to know we are not alone. Far from it. According to a survey commissioned by the National Garden Association last year, of American households persons in nearly (63 percent) were involved in caring for their lawn. Almost half had flower gardens, 40 percent tended vegetable gardens, and more than a third (36 percent) pruned, watered, mulched and otherwise cared for their shrubs. This gardening survey also found that in the vegetable gardening households persons spent from one to but spent only $56 four hours a week in their gardens on gardening materials. That meager investment, however, yielded an average of $356 worth of produce. Not a bad return, but vegetable gardeners are not in it for the money. Only 15 percent said they planted to save money, while d said having fresh vegetables was the nearly most important reason. About 22 percent said they gardened just for the fun of it. Taking care of the lawn is another matter. Not too many people I know mow their lawn for the fun of it, but it is a necessary chore. So is weed and bug control and applying fertilizer. In the average household with a lawn almost twice as much ($94) was spent on the lawn as in the vegetable garden. About 7 percent more people plant flowers than vegetables, presumably because they require less space and less care. The average flower gardener spent $46 last year on plants and bug killers. In total, the average household spent $185 in 1984 on lawn and gardening materials. Clearly, yard care and gardening is big business. That $185 per household translates into a $15.3 billion Sundayr April 28, pqe pn at' m.ui'ph one o'd-r- ; |
