Summary:

This poll, fielded December 13-17, 1998, is part of a continuing series of monthly surveys that solicit public opinion on the presidency and on a range of other political and social issues. Respondents were asked to give their opinions of President Bill Clinton, the United States Congress, and the Democratic and Republican parties. Those queried were also asked for their opinions of the House Judiciary Committee's handling of the impeachment matter, including the partisan vote by the committee to hold impeachment hearings, and the motivations behind the party-line votes. Respondents were asked whether they believed that Clinton would complete his second term, resign from office, be impeached, or be censured by Congress. Additional issues covered the respondents' understanding of the impeachment process, the possible effects of a Senate impeachment trial on the country, whether respondents had communicated their views about the impeachment matter to their representatives or to the media, whether it was more important for the president to be a role model or an effective president, and whether Clinton could still be an effective leader. On another topic, respondents were asked for their opinions on the United States' use of the Air Force to bomb targets in Iraq after Iraq failed to comply with its agreement to allow United Nations weapons inspections. Topics covered whether forcing Saddam Hussein to comply with the weapons inspectors was worth the potential loss of American lives, whether the strikes should continue until Iraq cooperated or until Hussein was removed from office, the timing of the start of the air strikes, the House of Representatives' decision to delay the start of the impeachment debate as a result of the attacks, and the possible ramifications if an impeachment vote was held while the United States was involved in military action against Iraq.
