Two in Three Likely Voters Angry Over Clinton-Lewinsky Affair
Majority of Likely Voters Blame the President
Republicans Still Lead in Congressional Generic


Pollster John Zogby: "Almost two out of three voters say that they are angry
about the Clinton-Lewinsky Affair and a majority overall are angriest at the
President. Seven in ten voters say that Clinton has no one to blame but himself
and a majority agree that the whole affair dragged on because Clinton refused
to tell the truth in the first place. While Democrats lead Republicans by three
points in the generic vote, it is customary in our polls that the Democrats must
be up by five in order to break even. What is of further importance here is that
one in three of those "undecided" voters say that the Clinton-Lewinsky Affair
will be important in determining their vote for Congress and by a factor or
thirty-five to twenty, they are more likely to vote Republican than Democrat.
By a factor of two to one, voters are less likely to vote for a candidate who
either voices support for or is campaigned on behalf of by the President.

"While a majority still oppose impeachment and removal from office, most who
prefer the President stay in office, agree that there should be some form of
punishment. Majorities continue to agree that the President should be
impeached if he either lied under oath before the grand jury or encouraged
anyone else to lie under oath."


The Zogby America Poll of 864 likely voters nationwide was conducted
Sunday through Tuesday (October -11-14, 1998). The poll has a margin of
sampling error of +/-3.5%. Error margins for sub-groups are higher.
