This special topic poll, fielded December 15, 1998, sought respondents' views on the upcoming vote by the United States House of Representatives to impeach President Bill Clinton. Those queried were asked whether they believed that the House should impeach or censure Clinton and, if Clinton were impeached, whether the Senate should vote to remove him from office. Respondents were asked for their impression of Clinton as a person, how they would feel if Clinton were removed from office, whether Clinton's actions were serious enough to warrant his removal from office, and whether this situation was Clinton's fault or merely a case of his critics taking advantage of his slip. Additional topics covered the correlation between a representative's vote on the impeachment of Clinton and his/her constituents' choice in the next Congressional election, and whether Clinton should resign or fight the charges if he were impeached. Background information on respondents includes age, sex, race, education, and political party.Cf: http://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR02709.v1
