Texas Poll Reveals Postwar Public Opinion Shifts
The Texas Poll from November 1946 shows Texans favor higher pensions for the needy with many supporting a $40 monthly check, and veterans largely backing a state bonus.

Occupation forces in Europe and compulsory military training are widely supported.
