CLINTON TRUST HIGHER THAN CONGRESS

Americans are twice as inclined to express trust and confidence in President Clinton as in Congress, according to an Associated Press poll.

Clinton was considered trustworthy most or all of the time by 52 percent of Americans, but fewer than one in four said the same about Congress. To deal with the country's problems, 55 percent had more confidence in Clinton, compared with 25 percent who put more faith in Congress.

The national poll of 1,002 adults was taken Wednesday through Sunday by ICR Survey Research group of Media, Pa. Results have a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
