Palin Polls
We don’t have a lot of information yet, but this is fun
Over half of U.S. voters (51%) think reporters are trying to hurt Sarah Palin with their news coverage, and 24% say those stories make them more likely to vote for Republican presidential candidate John McCain in November.
Thirty-nine percent (39%) also believe the GOP vice presidential nominee has better experience to be president of the United States than Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.
But 49% give Obama the edge on experience, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey – taken before Palin’s historic speech Wednesday night to the Republican National Convention.
Last night’s polling shows that, by a ten-to-one margin, voters believe reporters are trying to hurt Palin’s campaign rather than help. Republicans and unaffiliated voters strongly believe that a double standard is being applied to Palin because she is a woman. Democrats disagree. Perhaps most stunning is that, among unaffiliated voters, just 42% believe Obama has better experience than Palin to be President. Thirty-seven percent (37%) say Palin has the edge on experience. Again, most of the interviews for this survey were completed before Palin’s well-received speech last night.
Polling released yesterday showed that 12% of Americans now believe Palin is Very Likely to be the first woman elected President of the United States. Fourteen percent (14%) say the same about Hillary Clinton.
I understand that this should be a democrat year and sort of expect to be disappointed. But notice how the media bias is actually hurting The One and help McCain.
Way to go MSM!!! What percentage of the American public believes that the media is so biased that nothing they report is accurate? 25%? 30%% More?

I think Sarah is capable to be president. Liberal Media is ruining this country. In my circle of friends they are refeered to as the drive by media…..from a professional perspective, they a viewed with little or no repect…..a used car salesmen has more creditability.

Yea for Palin! I can’t wait for the annual turkey pardoning event to end and the Thanksgiving White House moose field dressing event to begin. Yes–this is so what we need to improve our image!

Palin appears to be a cipher in the snow…her low IQ is clearly evidenced in the few media opportunities she’s participated in…fortunately, her ignorance-driven confidence seem to waning…right along with her popularity. For a change, people are beginning to think in terms of their best interest rather than in terms of wanting somebody in office that is an even loser than themselves. I’m pretty sure that those who support Palin possess IQ’s far below the national standard and/or are so narcisstic that they refuse to vote for anybody less mediocre than themselves. I, for one, am hoping the morons can’t figure out how to vote…

You can have all the advanced degrees and the crony friends and the best speech delivery, but when you can’t figure when life begins…..but you can vote 4 times against assisting a dieing baby……you are the personification of evil.
You can be very intelligent but standing in the mud. You can have big gun, but be in a hole. You can’t employ an education and an IQ if you have no foundation. A strong foundation provides real vision for a strong leader and allows the right choices to be made in the light of day.
By contrast, a weak foundation leads to confusion, and an inability to make decisions for fear of being wrong. The cause served in such cases is one’s self, instead of others. I’ll take the moral foundation any day over lofty, empty brain power.
When you have both, like Sarah, you have a winner!
