I am just guessing, but I wonder if the change that seems to have occurred 10 yrs ago had anything to do with Clinton and his scandal.
The timing is right, at least--maybe it was a bigger deal to most Americans than Liberals want to believe.

Could be. I find it also interesting that, in the survey where Clinton and Dole is compared, there's a huge difference among respondents based on educational level.
The numbers are pretty amazing: no HS diploma, 50% say Clinton is better for family values; HS 40%; college 36%; and postgraduate 28%.
The more education a person had, the more negative they were about Clinton's morals, but in the population as a whole, Clinton and Dole were seen as evenly matched. That was on May 31, 1996, years before the Lewinsky scandal broke.
