Many political commentators have expressed the opinion that Sen. Kennedy's boyish charm would endear him with the women. But an analysis of the last four What America Thinks polls shows that on four different points, Vice President Nixon has more distaff support than his opponent In the last four weeks, "What America Thinks" interviewers have asked a cross section of Americans what candidates they were likely to vote for; which would be better if foreign affairs became dominant in the next four years; which would be better if domestic affairs were dominant, and which makes the best impression on television. The results were published weekly. RETABULATION Instead of taking a new poll this week, I directed a retaliation of these last four polls, breaking down answers by sex.

Here is what the figures show in percentages: Voting Intentions: Men Women Total Kennedy 43.1 35.0 39.1 Nixon 39.3 40.2 37.8 No opinion 17.6 24.8 23.1 Coping with Foreign Affairs: Kennedy 35.5 23.4 30.1 Nixon 46.8 58.3 51.7 No opinion 17.7 18.3 18.2 Coping with Domestic Affairs: Kennedy 39.7 26.9 34.6 Nixon 33.4 42.3 37.8 No opinion 26.9 30.8 27.6 TV Impression: Kennedy 29.4 33.4 31.4 Nixon 28.2 35.8 32.1 No opinion 42.4 30.8 36.5 The figures show that on each of the four points women favored Nixon over Kennedy and in each case the women' plurality was greater than that of the men. All of those interviewed were asked reasons for their opinion. Here is a sampling, first of: WOMEN FOR NIXON A New York housewife, a former teacher: "My family feels Mr. Nixon is dignified and sure of himself." A Tennessee student: "He is more sincere and has a better business vocabulary." A New York state school matron: "He can follow in Eisenhower's footsteps, he has a good record and he thinks clearly." WOMEN FOR KENNEDY A Colorado junior college teacher: "Sen. Kennedy has youthful vitality, a broad point of view and political and economic independence.

He is a clear-headed thinker." The wife of a New Jersey carpenter: "Kennedy is not a man who will, withhold anything. He knows too much about what has been going on in Washington." The wife of a Minnesota auto worker: is very level-headed and has a pleasant way about him." The wife of a Long Island ladies' tailor: "He is frank and honest. Besides, he's a Democrat." MEN FOR NIXON A Rhode Island accountant: "Nixon is best fitted to handle the problems. He will follow along Eisenhower's path." A Texas insurance adjuster: "Nixon has a little more experience in foreign affairs." A manager of a New York boys' shop: "He is the stronger of the two and more experienced." MEN FOR KENNEDY A Tennessee railroad conductor: "Kennedy is a smart and likable man. He is sincere and, besides, he's a Democrat.

A Massachusetts forge maintenance man: "For a change, I want a Democratic president." An Iowa hospital worker: "Kennedy has a way with people. We have seen what the Republicans have done, now let's give the Democrats a chance." A New York state oil dealer: "A change will do the country good.
