Yahoo! News Top Stories Headlines Saturday February 13 5:50 PM ET Poll Finds Most Approve Of Clinton Acquittal Reuters Photo WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A CBS News poll conducted after the U.S. Senate voted against removing President Clinton from office found that 64 percent of respondents approved of his acquittal, the network said Saturday. That dropped to 58 percent when respondents were asked: ''Can Clinton be trusted to keep his word as president?'' CBS said. There was also a strong suspicion that the matter did not end Friday with the Senate's acquittal of the president on impeachment charges of perjury and obstruction of justice in connection with attempts to cover up his affair with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky. When asked: ''Is this matter really over?'' 61 percent of respondents said they felt it was not. To the question: ''Can Clinton still be an effective president?'' 74 percent answered ''yes,'' CBS reported. The numbers resulted from a telephone survey of 926 adults after the Senate verdict. It had a margin of error of three percentage points. In a poll conducted by Newsweek magazine, released Saturday, 71 percent said Clinton would always be remembered for the scandal, while only 20 percent believed he could change his legacy in the nearly two years left in his term. In the poll taken Feb. 11-12, Clinton's job approval rating increased to 66 percent from 63 percent late last month. Although Clinton was cleared in the Senate, 64 percent of Americans said he committed perjury in his federal grand jury testimony and 49 percent thought he obstructed justice in the Paula Jones case, the poll showed. A U.S. News and World Report survey, taken before the Senate vote and released Saturday, found that a majority of Americans believe Clinton sets the lowest moral standard of all modern presidents, including Richard Nixon who resigned over the Watergate scandal. The Feb. 7-8 poll of 800 voters showed that 56 percent believed Clinton to be the least moral president, compared with 14 percent who held similar beliefs about Nixon. A poll taken in 1988 found at that time Nixon was considered by 48 percent of Americans to be the president who had set the lowest moral standard. In the Newsweek survey, first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton fared well with 33 percent saying their opinion of her had become more favorable and 20 percent having a less favorable opinion. Americans were split, however, on whether they would like to see her run for the Senate or another elective office, with 47 percent saying yes and 46 percent saying no. Asked what they thought the future held for Lewinsky, 44 percent believed she would fade into obscurity and lead a normal life, while 35 percent said she would become a media or entertainment celebrity. Only 14 percent believed her life was ruined. The Newsweek poll involved interviews with 752 adults and had a margin of error of four percentage points.
