Monday, July 8, 2002 9:41 a.m. EDT Gallup Stunner: Americans Blame Clinton for Business Scandals Despite a coordinated Democratic Party-media push to pin blame for the recent wave of corporate scandals on President Bush, a majority of Americans currently blame ex-President Bill Clinton for the business corruption that has sent the stock market reeling and caused a crisis in confidence in corporate America, according to a CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll released Monday. Fifty-one percent of Americans surveyed agreed that President Clinton's "moral failings in office" contributed to the permissive climate that encouraged corporate leaders to behave unethically. Of that number, more than half, 26 percent, "strongly agreed" that Clinton was partially responsible for the business scandals. The rest, 25 percent, "moderately agreed" the ex-president deserved blame. When asked the same question about President Bush, only 15 percent "strongly agreed" that he set a climate that encouraged corporate corruption and 31 percent "moderately agreed" with the same proposition, for a cumulative total of 46 percent - 5 percent less than those who blame Clinton. Another stunning development: President Bush's approval ratings have actually improved in the weeks since the Democrat-media complex began shifting blame to the president. The CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll put Bush's overall job approval at 76 percent - up 6 points since early June. "This result alone suggests that the president has been untouched by these scandals," Gallup said. Gallup surveyed 1,019 adults over the age of 18 on June 28-30. The survey has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percent. newsmax.com
