Summary View help for Summary
This special topic poll sought respondents' opinions of President Bill Clinton and the federal judge's decision to dismiss the sexual harassment lawsuit filed against Clinton by former Arkansas state employee Paula Jones. Respondents were asked whether they believed that Clinton violated Jones' civil rights, whether they believed Clinton engaged in a pattern of sexual misconduct, and whether Clinton's alleged sexual misconduct was an important issue. Additional questions focused on charges that Clinton may have lied under oath about sexual misconduct and/or encouraged others to lie under oath, and whether independent counsel Kenneth Starr should drop his investigation. Demographic variables include sex and political party.
