I saw the same poll. I think it was an ABC News poll on GMA. Most of the polls I have seen show a majority believe Clinton lied and/or obstructed justice but that those transgressions did not warrant removal. JLA

CNBC and MSNBC have both reported those figures and other similar ones. People know he's a liar, but don't feel it's necessary to change the presidency at this point.

Sorry, I listened to the evening news. I may seem to have made that up, but again, I assure you it is all real. The 84% number came from CBS. The 70% number came from NBC Message 7768810 >>It now appears that Ken Starr may have indeed conspired with the Jones attorneys to get Clinton. If true it is an outrage. Your right after all, about the poles. I saw some on CNBC 70% believe he perjured and obstructed justice yet 66% believe he should stay in office. He still only has a 27% disapproval rating.<< And of course his morality ratings are tiny. But here, I'll offer you some ammo for your side from my e-mail...you'll thank me.

Jonathan : AP: NBC to air interview with woman who accused Clinton of assault AP 02/23/99 By DAVID BAUDER NEW YORK (AP) -- NBC said it will broadcast its interview with Juanita Broaddrick, an Arkansas woman who claims she was sexually assaulted by Bill Clinton 20 years ago, on ''Dateline NBC'' Wednesday night. NBC's Lisa Myers interviewed Broaddrick in January. While the network continued to check her allegations, The Wall Street Journal ran a story Friday based on Broaddrick's charges and other media organizations followed suit. NBC News President Andy Lack said the network wanted to be careful to check all of the facts in the story before airing it and wasn't angry that others had beaten NBC. President Clinton's lawyers said Mrs. Broaddrick's allegations were ''absolutely false.'' Mrs. Broaddrick said she first met Clinton in 1978 when he was running for governor and she was a campaign worker. A week after meeting him, she was in Little Rock, Ark., at a seminar and arranged to meet Clinton, then Arkansas' attorney general, for coffee at her hotel. They went to a hotel room, where Clinton forced her to have sex, she claims. ''I was sexually assaulted by Bill Clinton,'' she has told The Associated Press. Myers' interview with Broaddrick quickly circulated within the media, with some conservative groups charging that NBC sat on the interview because it was embarrassing to Clinton. ''Everyone involved in the process knows there's no truth to that,'' Lack said Tuesday. He said NBC planned to run the story on the first ''Dateline NBC'' available as soon as the reporting was complete. NBC finished its reporting Tuesday, he said. The timing of the broadcast had nothing to do with the end of Clinton's impeachment trial, he said. ''When you have a story that was 21 years ago, that involves lots of information and facts and involves serious charges, you need to do a lot of checking,'' he said. ''And that's what we were doing.'' Lack said he found it ''odd'' that NBC was criticized for taking too much time in reporting. ''You wouldn't have asked that question a few years ago,'' he said. ''That is unfortunately some of the fallout of the pace of journalism over the past few years.'' Mrs. Broaddrick said that she was telling her story to counter rumors that she had been bribed and intimidated to stay quiet. She complained that NBC had let her ''hang out to dry'' by waiting to air the interview. Lack said he would not comment on Mrs. Broaddrick's complaints. The interview airs at 8 p.m. EST Wednesday.
