Palin Makes Good First Impression: Is Better Looking than Biden |
2008-08-31 |
Sarah Palin has made a good first impression. Before being named as John McCain's running mate, 67% of voters didn't know enough about the Alaska governor to have an opinion. After her debut in Dayton and a rush of media coverage, a new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey finds that 53% now have a favorable opinion of Palin while just 26% offer a less flattering assessment. Palin earns positive reviews from 78% of Republicans, 26% of Democrats and 63% of unaffiliated voters. Obviously, these numbers will be subject to change as voters learn more about her in the coming weeks. Among all voters, 29% have a Very Favorable opinion of Palin while 9% hold a Very Unfavorable view. By way of comparison, on the day he was selected as Barack Obama's running mate, Delaware Senator Joseph Biden was viewed favorably by 43% of voters. |

#7 And YES, I donated because of her. Why do you ask? Why would we NEED to ask? Why else would you? |

#6 I sent mine in by credit card soon after McCain's pick of Governor Palin was announced. And YES, I donated because of her. Why do you ask? |

#4 I dug through the trash this morning and found a McCain donation packet. Goes in the mail Tuesday. I guess since he is not using public funds there is a cut off date that you can contribute directly to his or in my case Palin's candidacy. |

#1 One thing the Rs could allude to WRT Palin is that Alaska is a key state on the Pacific Rim. Its role as energy and resource provider has international impacts well beyond the important issue of domestic oil / gas supplies and relations with Canada. |
