WASHINGTON (AllPolitics, January 27) -- The latest CNN/USA Today/Gallup Poll shows the public continues to approve of how the president is handling his job, but approval of the way Senate Republicans and Democrats are handling the impeachment trial is slipping. Approval for Senate Democrats is down eight percentage points from earlier this month.

A majority of respondents to the poll expressed disapproval of the Senate decisions to continue the trial and to get more testimony from witnesses. But a slight majority also disapproved of President Bill Clinton's refusal to answer questions put to him by GOP senators.
