When Sarah Palin Talks… She Scares Potential Voters
-
The Republican Ticket Still Has One Voter!
Amid all the chaos of the financial crisis, it’s been easy to overlook a simple, stark trend: Sarah Palin is killing the Republican ticket. Beyond becoming a national joke, Palin has been driving independent and moderate voters in key battleground states away from John McCain, and that fact is going to frame how she debates Joe Biden tonight.
From late August, when Barack Obama and McCain named their running mates, through mid-September, when the Wall Street meltdowns began, the national polls hardly changed. But the composition of each candidate’s support shifted. McCain increased his standing among Republicans, white men, and voters over the age of 65, according to CBS News/New York Times poll data. But he lost votes among moderates, independents, and women, particularly women under the age of 45. Even before Palin’s Titanic interview with Katie Couric, she was alienating non-right-wingers and the Tina Fey vote.Other Junk You Might Like!
