Poll: 70% Say Palin 'Doing the right thing'
From Opinion Dynamics/Fox News Poll ~ There has been some controversy about (Sarah) Palin’s personal and family life in the short time since the announcement of her nomination. Some have suggested that it’s not right for her to run for high office given her personal family situation.
There is no mistaking how American voters feel about the propriety of Palin running for high office. An overwhelming 70 percent think she is “doing the right thing” by getting into the race as the GOP vice-presidential nominee, while only 17 percent view it as “wrong.”
And, while a plurality of voters (48 percent) do not think this controversy is driven by sexism, nearly as many (45 percent) believe it is the result of gender-based considerations. Interestingly, among younger women (under 45 years of age) the belief that these controversies are gender-related jumps to 50 percent.
