Sarah Palin Viewed More Favorably Than The Guy With All Of The Experience — Joe Biden
Rasmussen Reports did a phone survey and Sarah Palin is viewed favorably by 53% of the country, compared to 43% who have a favorable impression of Joe Biden.
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 Democratsand 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.

In the new survey, 35% of voters say the selection of Palin makes them more likely to vote for McCain while 33% say they are less likely to do so. Most Republicanssay they are more likely to vote for Palin and most Democrats say the opposite. As for voters not affiliated with either major party, 37% are more likely to vote for McCain and 28% less likely to do so. Those numbers are a bit more positive than initial reaction to Biden.
I think this was a wise move for McCain. I’m actually looking forward to watching the Republican Convention now!

Frankly, I’m shocked at how aggressively the democratic party is attacking Palin for not having enough experience.
I just hope Barack Obama doesn’t make such an idiotic statement.
Expect Joe “The Pitbull” Biden to attack her harshly though.
Biden has already commented he said
“She’s good-looking”
Maybe soon Obama will call her “Sweety”
