NEW YORK (Reuters) - Most New Yorkers did not believe Sen. Hillary Rodham
Clinton (news - web sites) when she denied knowing her brother was being paid
for helping secure presidential pardons for two convicted felons, according
to a poll published on Sunday.
The Zogby International poll in the New York Post showed 58 percent of
respondents did not believe Clinton when she spoke in public Thursday about
her brother Hugh Rodham's work for a convicted drug dealer and a baldness
cure scammer.
The pardons were just two by President Clinton (news - web sites) during his
final hours in the White House that have come under public scrutiny and
marred Mrs. Clinton's first weeks as a U.S. senator.
The U.S. Attorney in Manhattan has opened criminal probes into Clinton's
pardon of fugitive billionaire financier Marc Rich -- whose ex-wife gave
hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Democratic Party -- and whether four
men from a Hasidic Jewish village in New York were pardoned in exchange for
the community's overwhelming vote for Mrs. Clinton in last November's Senate
election.
Zogby's poll showed that 33 percent of respondents believed Mrs. Clinton when
she said she knew nothing about her brother's efforts, for which he was
reportedly paid $400,000. The poll also revealed that fewer New Yorkers had a
favorable opinion of the senator than they did before the pardons controversy.
Clinton, the only first lady to be elected to national public office when she
won a U.S. Senate seat out of her adopted state of New York, said Thursday
she was ``shocked and disappointed'' by the payment and her brother had
returned the money.
The poll of 502 New Yorkers was conducted Friday and Saturday and had a
margin of error of plus or minus 4.5 percentage points, the newspaper said.
The pollster said 51 percent had a favorable opinion of Clinton while 46
percent had an unfavorable opinion of her. Last month, her
favorable-unfavorable rating was 56 percent to 39 percent.
