Palin Poll: Favorable Opinion Tops Biden
A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey finds that 53% now have a favorable opinion of Sarah Palin while just 26% offer a less flattering assessment.
By way of comparison, on the day he was selected as Democratic Presidential nominee Barack Obama's running mate, Delaware Senator Joseph Biden was viewed favorably by 43% of voters.
As for voters not affiliated with either major party, 37% are more likely to vote for Republican Presidential nominee John McCain and 28% less likely to do so. Those numbers are a bit more positive than initial reaction to Biden.
When Biden was selected, just over half (52%) of Democrats believed he was the right choice. Sixty-three percent (63%) of Republicans say McCain picked the right running mate in Palin, and 40% of unaffiliated voters agree. A week ago, 31% of unaffiliateds said the same about Obama's selection.
