Summary View help for Summary
This special topic poll, fielded December 15, 1998, sought respondents' views on the upcoming full House of Representatives' vote on whether to impeach President Bill Clinton. Respondents were asked whether they felt that Clinton should resign or remain in office and face a trial in the Senate if he were to be impeached, and which action would be best for the country. In addition, respondents were asked whether their choice was based on a desire to end the matter quickly, or based on their opinion of Clinton's actions with regard to his relationship with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky. Background information on respondents includes age, race, sex, education, and political party.
