Summary

This poll 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. This survey, fielded February 12, 1999, is a call-back of two cohorts: those surveyed January 30 through February 1, 1999 [CBS NEWS/NEW YORK TIMES MONTHLY POLL #3, JANUARY 1999 (ICPSR 2720)], and respondents contacted on February 7, 1999 [CBS NEWS MONTHLY POLL, FEBRUARY 1999 (ICPSR 2728)]. Respondents were asked to give their opinions of President Bill Clinton, Vice President Al Gore, Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, House of Representatives Judiciary Committee Chairman Henry Hyde, and former White House intern Monica Lewinsky. Respondents were also asked for their views on a variety of issues surrounding the Senate impeachment trial, including how the Senate was handling the trial, if witnesses were necessary, and whether videotaped testimony should be released. Those queried were asked how closely they would follow the trial and which outcome they preferred to resolve the trial. Respondents were also queried about whether the Democrats or Republicans bore the responsibility for partisanship in the proceedings, what the motives behind the impeachment trial were, and how the trial would affect the ability of Congress and the president to work together. Background information on respondents includes age, sex, race, education, religion, political party, political orientation, voter participation history, marital status, age of children in household, family income, and computer access.
