Some Polling On Sarah Palin -- Before Her Speech Yesterday. More Polls Coming.

Polling on Palin

There's some more polling information out today on Sarah Palin but unfortunately all of it was conducted before last night's speech, so we suspect these numbers will change.

Rasmussen Reports poll conducted Sept. 3:

* Fifty-seven percent of likely voters have been following the Palin story very closely and another 28 percent somewhat closely.
* Fifty-one percent believe the press is out to get Palin, while 35 percent say its coverage of her is unbiased.
* Voters believe Obama has the better experience to be President than Palin by 49 percent to 39 percent.
* A quarter of voters say the choice of Palin will make them more likely to vote for John McCain, a fifth say less likely, and just over half say it will have no impact on their decisions.

CBS News poll conducted Sept. 1-2:

* Sixty percent of registered voters are undecided about Palin or don't know enough about her to have an opinion. Of those who do, 26 percent have a favorable view of her and 13 percent an unfavorable one.
* More than one in four voters interviewed after Palin's selection say that the Vice Presidential choice will matter to them this year. However, 68 percent say the selection won't make a difference in their vote.

SurveyUSA poll conducted Sept. 3:

* Voters say Palin is an asset to McCain by a 49 percent to 37 percent margin with 14 percent saying they don't know. Similarly, voters say by 48 percent to 39 percent that the choice of Palin reflects well on McCain.
* For the Democratic ticket, voters consider Joseph Biden an asset to Barack Obama by 47 percent to 26 percent with about a quarter saying they don't know, and that by a 50 percent to 29 percent margin that the choice reflects well on Obama.
* Eighty-one percent of voters say that the pregnancy of Palin's daughter should be treated as a private matter.

Editor's comment: Ya'll know how I feel about SurveyUSA polls right?

I trust them.

So let's see what tomorrow's polls say, Ok?
