In the aftermath of the Democratic National Convention, the party's nominee,
Michael S. Dukakis, has expanded his lead among registered voters over Vice
President Bush, the probable Republican nominee, according to a Gallup Poll.

This was among the findings of a national public opinion poll of 948
registered voters conducted late last week for Newsweek magazine by the
Gallup Organization. The telephone interviews took place on July 21, which
was the last night of the convention, and on the night after that.

Fifty-five percent of the 948 registered voters interviewed in the poll said
they preferred to see Mr. Dukakis win the 1988 Presidential election, while
38 percent said they preferred to see Mr. Bush win. The poll had a margin of
sampling error of plus or minus four percentage points.
