Thanks, John. I think we can safely put the issue of public opinion polls to rest. Folk, particularly politicians, referred to it, perhaps as much as now, but they meant something quite different and, certainly, less accurate. Perhaps more like politicians now will invoke "the American people" want, in sentences in which you can't recognize any poll results at all. As for Lindbergh, he was definitely a case. I think it's rather simple to characterize his views as naive, as has often been done. But they were certainly discredited by WWII.
