Clinton credibility down from 60% to 54%
gallup.com
CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll finds little change in public support for the United States'
role in the NATO military offensive in Yugoslavia, compared to when the air and missile strikes
began one week ago. Fifty-three percent of those polled the nights of March 30 and 31 favor
U.S. involvement in the mission aimed at ending alleged Serb oppression of ethnic Albanians in
the Yugoslavian province of Kosovo, up just slightly from 50% in a CNN/USA Today/Gallup
poll taken the night of March 25.

There are a few new indications that Americans are growing cynical about the effectiveness of
an air war in Yugoslavia. In particular, there has been a drop in public confidence that the U.S.
can accomplish its objectives through NATO air attacks, from 44% last week to 41% today. At
the same time, there has been an eight-point rise in the percentage who would favor sending in
U.S. ground troops if the air and missile strikes alone prove ineffective, from 31% last week to
39% today.

Just as the public seems split over the effectiveness of the current air attacks, it is divided in its
evaluation of the Clinton Administration's foreign policy leadership on this issue. Forty-six
percent believe the Administration's objectives in the Kosovo situation are clear, while 47%
disagree.
