WASHINGTON, February 8: New opinion polls released have shown soaring job approval ratings for President Bill Clinton as top democrats rallied behind him in an attack on the White House sex scandal prosecutor.While separate polls in the latest issues of Newsweek, US News and World Report yesterday gave Clinton a 66-percent job approval rating, that number plummeted to 42 per cent when people were asked for their opinion of him as an individual.The results came as the lawyer for Lewinsky joined top democrats and a Clinton attorney in heaping criticism on independent counsel Kenneth Starr. In a statement issued in Los Angeles and cited by CNN television, William Ginsburg accused Starr's office of ``unethical, unlawful and abusive acts.''
