Rasmussen: Palin more popular than Obama; McCain

[Small Business Owner of Any Repute]

"A week ago, most Americans had never heard of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. Now, following a Vice Presidential acceptance speech viewed live by more than 40 million people, Palin is viewed favorably by 58% of American voters. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 37% hold an unfavorable view of the self-described hockey mom.

...

Perhaps most stunning is the fact that Palin’s favorable ratings are now a point higher than either man at the top of the Presidential tickets this year. As of Friday morning, Obama and McCain are each viewed favorably by 57% of voters. Biden is viewed favorably by 48%.

...

However, following the Wednesday night speech, voters are fairly evenly divided as to whether Palin or Obama has the better experience to be President. Forty-four percent (44%) of voters say Palin has the better experience while 48% say Obama has the edge. Among unaffiliated voters, 45% say Obama has better experience while 42% say Palin."

I'm tired of this media bias nonsense. John McCain has been given a free pass for years. Has any other contemporary American politician been given such adulated praise?

Dave

Barack Obama comes immediately to mind.

Be that the case, why was the media all over Jeremiah Wright?

Dave

The same reason the New York Times "reported" about McCain's alleged lobbyist mistress?
