Polls?

[cyr330]

Does anybody have any poll results since McSame chose the Alaskan fascist?

1. Probably too soon, but no effect yet it seems...

I think it's too soon to know, but Rasmussen shows little change since yesterday.

8/30/08 - Obama: 47 - McSame: 43
Yesterday: Obama: 46 - McSame: 43

Gallop's poll is dated yesterday so I don't think it takes Palin-drone (I just made that up just now) into account, but:

Obama:48 McSame: 41
Day before: same as above

2. Here:

Keep in mind that daily national polls of 600-1200 respondents across the nation are pretty meaningless, and that what really counts are state numbers and trends.

For these, visit pollster and check the swing states, things look very good.

And if you insist on National Polls, I like the Gallup Daily Tracking Poll here:

3. Here's another pretty picture:

But things will change after the Republican Convention...

4. Guys seem to like her (surprise). Gals - surprise?

What's interesting, however, is that while there is a gender gap in these numbers, it's not the one many observers were anticipating. Rather, along a variety of metrics, men like the Palin choice better than women:

These numbers pretty much speak for themselves, but men have a favorable imperssion of Palin by a 35-point margin, whereas women have a favorable impression of her by an 18-point margin. Conversely, by a 23-point margin, women do not think Palin is ready to be President, whereas Palin lost this question among men by a considerably smaller 6-point magrin.

5. Wow.. you would have thought that the republicans would have

done some pre-polling on this to see how it bounced with women. We don't like to be treated as though we're idiots. :eyes:
