Rasmussen: Palin Makes Good First Impression: Is Viewed More Favorably than Biden

[Douglas Carpenter]

"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.

3. A couple of questions.....

...since the announcement of Fluffer-nutter was made mid-morning to early afternoon, how can one form a favorable impression unless one is lazing aroung the trailer home watching the tube? And if that's the case, how many cell phones did Razzmoosen's pollsters call to garner such an impression. And if the answer is none, then is this fucking, stupid first impression of Fluffer-nutter a complete fucking sham?

Retard Republicants.

4. Apparently McCain also views her favorably.

Well, her ass anyway. Has anyone seen this? Scroll down to the video, 'Getting To Know You'. It looks like he's staring at her ass while fiddling with his wedding ring. It's....ewwwwwww!

9. Yep. Watch out, Cindy!

McCain's looking for a "newer model" and he's about to flip-flop all over Palin. Fiddling with your wedding ring is usually indicative of a man thinking about cheating.

I'm sure McCain is looking forward to working on her... I mean with her. :evilgrin:

5. This seems a bit suspect

Only 67% didn't know enough to form an opinion?
Go nationwide, and I'll bet 80% of the country
doesn't know enough to form an opinion about the
governor of New York, much less the governor of
Alaska.

If looking well-groomed is enough to have a favorable
opinion, then theoretically, George Hamilton as VP
would have gotten him a 99% favorable rating. Biden
has the credentials, hers are just a little lacking.

6. Never underestimate the superficiality and ignorance of the American public.....

7. well yes,

Gov. Palin might very well be an extremely charming and likable person. And that might very well show through. Question about being qualified to be Commander and Chief could very well take second place in a lot of peoples minds.

8. Did they ask the question " in tongues?" nt

10. I suspect this is based primarily on looks.

Anyone with a brain or/and a heart knows better.
