...President's approval rating was 67%, just one notch below his personal high point in January, after he bounced back from the Monica Lewinsky scandal with an intrepid State of the Union speech. But in the new poll, 52% also believe he has engaged in a pattern of sexual misconduct while President. That means that many of Clinton's supporters also believe he did something like what his accusers say he did.
