One particular number in the new CBS poll released Wednesday has drawn most of the interest: President Bush's approval rating plunging to 35%, his worst standing ever and the lowest mark recorded in decades. But buried in the lengthy survey was an appraisal of the salience of the current Plame/CIA leak case scandal that is equally revealing. It shows that, contrary to some reports this week from leading conservative columnists, the public does take this issue seriously, indeed. Some 51% said it is already of "great importance," with 35% choosing "some importance" and 12% "little or not importance." Here are comparable numbers for other notable scandals in recent years, along with the month and year the poll was taken: --Clinton-Lewinsky (1/98) Great importance - 41% Some importance - 21% Little/no importance - 37% --Whitewater (3/94) Great importance - 20% Some importance - 29% Little/no importance - 45% --Iran-Contra (2/87) Great importance - 48% Some importance - 33% Little/no importance - 19% --Watergate (5/73; Gallup Poll) Great importance - 53% Some importance - 25% Little/no importance - 22% editorandpublisher.com
