FROM THE LA TIMES:A plurality of the public (46%) has an unfavorable impression of the Republicans in Congress, 32% have a favorable impression and 22% are not sure...Democrats fared no better. About two out of five Americans (41%) have a favorable opinion of the Democrats in Congress, while 42% have an unfavorable opinion of them... ...Clinton, not the Republicans in Congress, is still thought of as the one who has the better ideas how to solve the problems this country currently faces (57% to 27%). The public still feels that he cares about people like them (55%) and can effectively do his job in his last two years in office (67%). Half of the respondents say he has the honesty and integrity to serve as president of the United States, 46% don’t think he has these virtues, and 70% say the president doesn’t share their moral values... ....Presidential Election 2000 When asked if the country would be better off if a Democrat or a Republican was elected in the 2000 presidential election, 38% of Americans thought a Democrat would be better for the country, while 28% thought a Republican would and 19% said it depends on the candidates running. Among registered voters, the spread got closer with 36% mentioning the Democrats, 31% saying the Republicans and 21% saying it depends on the candidates. And when asked if the country would be better off if the Democrats or Republicans controlled a majority in Congress after the next election in 2000, 41% of Americans say they would like a Democratic majority, while 36% say they would like a Republican majority. Among registered voters, 42% say the Democrats should control Congress and 37% thought the Republicans... ...More than two-thirds of the public don’t think the impeachment of the president and the effort to remove him should be an issue in the 2000 presidential election, only 3% think it should be the most important issue and 26% think it should be an issue, but not the most important issue. Registered voters’ views are the same. Vice President Al Gore still remains an enigma to a third of the public even though he has been a U.S. Senator, a presidential candidate in 1988 and vice president for six years. Thirty-seven percent of the public have a favorable impression of Vice President Al Gore, 30% have an unfavorable opinion of him and 33% are undecided. It’s about the same among registered voters. Almost three out of five (58%) of those surveyed say the vice president’s support of President Clinton throughout the impeachment trial will have no effect on whether they will support Gore for president or not, 17% say it will make them more likely to support him and 21% say it will make them less likely. There is no difference among registered voters. When asked if their senator’s vote on the impeachment trial would have an effect on their reelection vote, a majority of registered voters say it won’t affect the way they will vote in 2000. More than half (52%) of those surveyed say if their senator voted to convict and remove the president, it will have no effect on how they vote, 24% say it will make them more likely to reelect their senator and 22% say it will make them less likely. Among registered self-described Democrats, 34% say it will make them less likely to reelect their senator, while 45% of self-described Republicans say it will make them more likely. Self-described independents are somewhat divided if their senator voted for conviction with 22% saying more likely to reelect their senator, 28% saying less likely and 49% saying it will have no effect. If their senator didn’t vote for conviction of the president, 53% of registered voters say it will have no effect on their 2000 vote, while 21% say it would make them more likely and 23% say it will make them less likely. Thirty-five percent of Democrats say it will make them more likely to reelect their senator, while 45% of Republicans say it will make them less likely. At least half of the registered voters also say the vote cast by their House congressional representative on the articles of impeachment would not have an effect on how they will vote in 2000. Fifty percent of the electorate say it will have no effect on their vote because their member of Congress voted for the articles of impeachment, 25% say it will make them more likely to reelect their representative, 24% say it will make them less likely. If their representative didn’t vote for the impeachment articles, 56% say it will have no effect on their vote, 18% say it will make them more likely to reelect their member of Congress and 24% say it will make them more unlikely. TO TRANSLATE FOR THE POLITICALLY CHALLENGED, THE 2000 ELECTION REMAINS UP FOR GRABS.

Still a little liar, still full of crap, eh, JBL? I use Marxist techniques, like putting words in people's mouths, right? Which you can't be bothered to show an example of, but which "Marxist technique" you're proud to engage in yourself. Sounds suspiciously like the unreformed Rev. Pilch and the "leftist ad hominem" to me. Broaddrick herself says, "I'm just hoping this absolutely goes away in the next week." It's good to see you doing your very best to fulfill Broaddrick's hope here, JBL. Along with the rest of your pus pot buddies.
