The anniversary in March came and went without a peep.
It was in March of 1936 that George Gallup did his first public opinion survey and little did he know at the time the Frankenstein he was foisting on our political process but that will be left for another day and time.
One thing we do know is that at that moment in history had he asked the question, “What is the most urgent issue facing this nation?” The never would have found almost one out of five citizens expressing their fears over the state of the country’s Democracy. In those pre-World War II days as war clouds were mushrooming on the horizon, the United States of America was truly that...United. To be sure there were disgruntled members of the society but for the most part the Office of the President was respected and a majority felt the Democracy was not at risk.
