Obama Leads Palin On Experience…By Five Points
While Republicans and Democrats predictably favor their party’s candidate by overwhelming margins, the experience gap among voters unaffiliated with either party is even narrower than the national totals. Forty-two percent (42%) say Obama has better experience to be president, but 37% say Palin does.
The potential problem for Democrats is that Obama, the junior U.S. senator from Illinois and a former state legislator, is the party’s standard-bearer, while Palin, an ex-mayor and now governor of Alaska, is number two on her party’s ticket.
I think the liberals really put their foot in a mud hole when they came after Palin for inexperience. I mean, if a one-term Governor who beat a sitting Governor from her own party in a primary election and has a history of exposing corruption at several levels of government isn’t experienced to lead how in the world is a one-term Senator who has sent most of that term campaigning?
By trying to highlight Palin’s inexperience (or, more accurately, create a false perception of it) all the liberals have done is open up their own candidate for further scrutiny on his experience.
And that is one area the Obama faithful shouldn’t want a lot of scrutiny.
Regardless, the left’s attacks on Palin’s experience clearly aren’t gaining traction.
