Description

  • Abstract

    This special topic poll, fielded December 16, 1998, sought respondents' views on the upcoming United States House of Representatives vote on whether to impeach President Bill Clinton, and the United States' launch of air strikes against Iraq earlier in the evening in response to Iraq's refusal to cooperate with United Nations weapons inspectors. Those queried were asked for their opinions on the motives behind, the timing of, and the scope of the attack against Iraq. Their views were sought on whether the attack would accomplish Clinton's stated goal of interfering with Iraq's ability to produce nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons. Additional questions addressed the House of Representatives' decision to delay their impeachment vote due to the current military action in Iraq, and whether Clinton's decision to launch the attack had impacted respondents' views on whether Clinton should be impeached. Background information on respondents includes sex and political party.
