Opinion of Bill Clinton continues to fall
The overall opinion of Bill Clinton continued its downward trend, a new Zogby America survey reveals.
The survey, taken September 21-23 of 1,005 likely voters throughout the nation, shows that Clinton's overall favorable rating dropped to 44.7% from the 46.8% rating taken in May. Both ratings represent yearly lows since he received a 46.7% rating in September 1998. The survey has a margin of sampling error of +/-3.2%. The survey also shows Clinton's positive job performance rating leveling out at 48.4%, a slight increase over the 47.4% rating in May, but a dramatic decline from the 60.5% positive rating for job performance in January. Key points of the survey show that 24.4% of Democrats gave the President a negative job performance rating compared to 22.9% in May, and 56.6% of the Independent respondents gave the President a negative job performance rating compared to 52.2% in May. Pollster John Zogby: "It's clear that "Clinton fatigue" has caught up with the President as he now is in the throes of a lame duck status. In fact, the question of who eventually will become his replacement generates more attention now than he does." Clinton overall opinion|
