  •   Poll Taker: Did the Allegations Matter?

    Question 2 of 2 :
    There are also allegations that Clinton himself lied by testifying under oath that he did not have an affair with the woman. If Clinton lied in this way, would you want him to remain in office as president, or would you want him to resign the presidency?

    From a January 23-25, 1998 Washington Post-ABC News poll. Complete Poll Data, including sample size and overall margin of error. The margin of error for subsample populations is larger. Percentages may not add to 100 due to rounding.

    Even Democrats believe that lying under oath would be a much more serious offense than having extramarital sex. Fifty-five percent of those interviewed said Clinton should be impeached if he lied under oath. Now that you have seen the numbers, voice your opinion in our online discussion and keep up with the latest news in our special report.
