Pollsters are furiously probing Lewinskymania. Late last week, poll numbers showed the public souring on Clinton as a man. His personal-approval ratings plunged. His job rating suffered a smaller slide. But here's what a good State of the Union performance and a couple of nicely staged news events can do: A new CBS News poll shows Clinton with a 73 percent job-approval rating, up 16 percent since Monday and the highest ever. A Fox News poll says 77 percent think Clinton will serve out his term and that respondents were evenly split on whether they believe his Lewinsky denials.
