The Democratic Party moved into a virtual tie with the Republicans as the party Americans perceive as best able to keep the peace, the latest Gallup survey shows. Thirty-seven percent of those polled backed the Democrats on the peace issue, while 35% supported the GOP. But on the issue of which party is best able to maintain prosperity, the Republicans led 44% to 35%, the survey found. The poll’s results are based on in-person interviews with 1,540 adults, 18 and older, conducted in over 300 localities across the nation during the period of June 7-10.
