| Summary: | This special topic poll, fielded August 19, 1998, sought
respondents' views on the presidency and on the United States'
decision, earlier in the day, to launch missile attacks against sites
in Afghanistan and Sudan that were suspected to have been used by
terrorists who attacked two United States embassies in Africa earlier
in the month. Respondents were asked whether they believed that the
attacks would prove an effective deterrent against future acts of
terrorism, whether they trusted President Bill Clinton to handle the
United States' response to terrorism, and whether the attacks were for
the purpose of combating terrorism or to shift public attention away
from the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Those queried were also asked
whether they believed that the situation involving Lewinsky had
interfered with Clinton's ability to serve effectively as
president. Background information on respondents includes sex and
political party. |
