A week ago, most Americans had never heard of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. Now, following a Vice Presidential acceptance speech viewed live by more than 40 million people, Palin is viewed favorably by 58% of American voters. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 37% hold an unfavorable view of the self-described hockey mom.

The figures include 40% with a Very Favorable opinion of Palin and 18% with a Very Unfavorable view. Before her acceptance speech, Palin was viewed favorably by 52%. A week ago, 67% had never heard of her.

The new data also shows significant increases in the number who say McCain made the right choice and the number who say Palin is ready to be President. Generally, John McCain's choice of Palin earns slightly better reviews than Barack Obama's choice of Joe Biden.

Perhaps most stunning is the fact that Palin's favorable ratings are now a point higher than either man at the top of the Presidential tickets this year. As of Friday morning, Obama and McCain are each viewed favorably by 57% of voters. Biden is viewed favorably by 48%.

No matter what happens in the general election we probably haven't seen the last of Sarah Palin.

The Dems need to sit up and pay attention, here. Using the "Palin Model" of creative nomination, I fully expect the 2012 Dem ticket to include at least one of these:

So is it safe to say most of this forum will follow through and get the fuck out of my country when Obama loses?

It's win - win either way for me then.

If it's going to be popularity contests from here on out, we should just take a cue from threads on SLU...

Richie Waves · 09-05-2008, 02:38 PM

Well she does have a racist minister (or pastor whatever the fuck they call him)

Beau Perkins · 09-05-2008, 02:40 PM

Is it too late to vote for Hillary? I think Obama is fucked.

Eboni Khan · 09-05-2008, 02:48 PM

Is every Pastor/Minister in America racist?

If Biden were less Boring he'd be higher than 48%

I've never found George W. Bush to be boring in the least. Last I looked his popularity was something in the 20's range.

No, just for a couple days I felt a kinship with the "2000 Year Old Man". It's passed, and now I'm back to my usual persona. I don't necessarily think I'll win, but I'm a sure bet to snag the Suave Voter niche, and they throw some hellacious parties.
