What don't you understand? I already told you that ABC poll was taken about Jan 10 or 11. So Clinton had about two weeks left in which to disgrace himself. And he did. I defy you to find any poll that says what you said, i.e., "Clinton's job approval ratings remained in the 60's to the day he left office." Besides, polls are always taken after the fact, so any poll on the end of Clinton's term would have to be taken at the end of January or early Feb to give an accurate picture. What's really important is that Clinton is reviled now and forever. What don't you understand?

Look new NYTimes poll says Clinton more reviled than EVER!!!! And he's taking Hillary down with him!!! March 15, 2001 Standing of Both Clintons Declines in New Poll By ADAM NAGOURNEY and JANET ELDER Complete Results • 60 Percent Favor Bush, but Economy Is Major Concern (Mar. 14, 2001) Issue in Depth • Polls Bill Clinton's standing with the American public has plummeted in the two months since he walked out of the White House, reaching its lowest level since before he arrived in Washington, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.... The former president's problems have also apparently spilled over onto his wife, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York. More than 40 percent of Americans nationwide say they have an unfavorable view of her, about as negative a rating as she has ever received during her years in public life. By contrast, in a poll taken in the week before her husband left office, Mrs. Clinton was viewed unfavorably by only 28 percent.... nytimes.com When Mr. Clinton left office, 57 percent of Americans said they had a favorable view of him, compared with 35 percent who viewed him unfavorably. That perception has flipped almost entirely: now, 51 percent of respondents say they view him unfavorably, compared with just 38 percent who view him favorably. That is the lowest rating he has received since the Times/CBS News Poll began measuring public perceptions of him in October 1991. What's that? 57%! Gee, that's not 60. 38% still seems high for Clinton.
