Another polling result

Some time ago I posted the results of a CBS poll that gave the president a 35% approval rating - the lowest it's been yet. Well, AMERICAblog has published some other interesting numbers from that poll. Take a look:

HOW IMPORTANT TO THE NATION IS THE CIA LEAK MATTER?

CIA Leak
Great importance - 51%
Some importance - 35%
Little/no importance - 12%

Clinton-Lewinsky (1/98)
Great importance - 41%
Some importance - 21%
Little/no importance - 37%

Whitewater (3/94)
Great importance - 20%
Some importance - 29%
Little/no importance - 45%

Iran-Contra (2/87)
Great importance - 48%
Some importance - 33%
Little/no importance - 19%

Watergate (5/73; Gallup Poll)
Great importance - 53%
Some importance - 25%
Little/no importance - 22%

Definitely people think the CIA leak is more important than Monica. But they even think it's overall more important that Watergate when you total the "great importance" and "some importance" figures. This is serious folks. In spite of the fact that the right wingers have an incredibly effective propaganda machine going, the people are not happy.

This is good news. Definitely.
