Research 2000 tracking: Palin is still falling like a rock

[book_worm]

MCCAIN 51 45 4
OBAMA 54 38 8
BIDEN 48 32 20
PALIN 47 43 10


Okay Palin now has a 47/43 fav/unfav rating (+4). Three days ago it was 49/40, then 48/42, then 47/42 and now today 47/43.

Notice too that McCain's unfav rating is now the highest of anybody (45%) and his net fav/unfav 51/45 is only +6. His ratings are also beginning to tank! the negative campaigning is hurting him. Meanwhile Obama's 54/38 (+16) is matched by Biden (48/32).

1. So Caribou Barbie is less popular than her boss?

And Obama is more popular than all of them.

[Skwmom]

2. She will become an anchor around McCain's neck.

That's why they don't want people focusing on Palin. The more they know the less they like.

[SuperTrouper]

4. Yes, Bush and Palin like vampires at McWacko's neck

6. Kind of like an albatross?

She likes to wear dead things....

9. I'm glad she appreciates Wagner however.

12. I had to look that up!

I thought I was being clever eluding to Melville but now I think I meant to reference Coleridge....High School Lit. was a long time ago! :hi:

14. Her education prepared her to become an anchor someday

(BA in Journalism/Broadcast news. Ha ha).

3. I believe that McCain will eventually rue the day that he selected

Palin for the V.P. slot. Cindy probably already does.

10. That's Because the Old Lech is Doing Sarah

Cindy knows what sort of man she married.

[ladjf]

11. Nah, he's not doing that. For one thing, by the time he meets his

campaigning schedule, he would be too tired for that sort of thing.

13. Who do You Think Answers All That Viagra Spam That Gets Sent Out?

17. It has been a breathtaking two weeks ...

including the R convention, and while I like Chuck Todd, it is as much a convention bump as a Palin (or ANY VP for that matter) bump ...

But, I agree pretty strongly. I still to this day think that ROMNEY would have been been BIG problems. I think that Pawlenty would have been a decent pick, but not help as much as Romney. I don't have a real sense how Jomentum or Ridge would have been.

But, my gut has said from the very moment, that Palin would be a net loss when it was all said and done. Had he picked an actual QUALIFED woman, it might have been a net gain. But, only the MSM's WHORING over her could even BEGIN to mitigate the fact that she has SO much baggage, even the media can't not cover it.

Amazingly, McCain found a way, IMO, to pick a VP who HURT HIM.

This lady is a TRAIN WRECK as a VP pick, completely and without any doubt. Again, only the MSM being under orders to carry water for Rs can mitigate it as much as they will.

5. Yes yes yes!!

She's got one speech and one set of jokes. They have worn thin.

7. the more people hear that grating voice of her the more votes they lose, too

[Nikki Stone1]

15. It's not the vocal quality, but her attitude.

I think Tina Fey got her so spot on!

[book_worm]

16. yes, she did a great job.

[gratefultobelib]

8. Yea!!!
