<<<The whole time that sex has been the focus, the polls show that the overwhelming majority of the public is against removing Clinton from office. As soon as the focus shifts to criminal activity, the attitude changes. Until the debate moves away from sex, the American people will feel cheated if Clinton is removed.>>> I thought the latest polls show 40% favor resignation and 36% favor impeachment, though these two groups may not be mutually exclusive (i.e., doesn't add up to 76%). As long as the economy holds up, most people tend to favor his staying in office since they don't want political instability that may upset the economy. Public opinion started turning against him when he gave his public 'apology' on August 17. That made it the lies more personal to most people. Until then, this was primarily a Washington issue. Some people forgave. Some people seemed angered.
