# Jury Still Out on Clinton’s Success

## Report Summary

Most Americans say they still haven't made up their minds about Bill Clinton. But the President's personal image has been weakened by a belief that he can't get things done and a feeling that he breaks his promises. Six months into office few Americans can cite a Clinton achievement without prompting, and the only Administration action that has registered with the public is one that it disapproves of - easing the ban on gays in the military.
