Palin A More Popular Pick With Americans Than Biden, McCain Hits $47 Million For August Fund Raising

Palin is proving to be a good pick for McCain on a number of levels. The pick has re-invigorated a conservative base that was longing for someone to get excited about. It’s resulted in a windfall of fund raising ($47 million for August, $10 million since Palin was announced as VP). And, perhaps most importantly, Palin is being viewed much more positively than her counterpart Joe Biden.

Sarah Palin has made a good first impression. Before being named as John McCain’s running mate, 67% of voters didn’t know enough about the Alaska governor to have an opinion. After her debut in Dayton and a rush of media coverage, a new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey finds that 53% now have a favorable opinion of Palin while just 26% offer a less flattering assessment.
Palin earns positive reviews from 78% of Republicans, 26% of Democrats and 63% of unaffiliated voters. Obviously, these numbers will be subject to change as voters learn more about her in the coming weeks. Among all voters, 29% have a Very Favorable opinion of Palin while 9% hold a Very Unfavorable view.
By way of comparison, on the day he was selected as Barack Obama’s running mate, Delaware Senator Joseph Biden was viewed favorably by 43% of voters.

The left is in deep, deep trouble with Palin. McCain all by himself was giving Obama a run for his money, but now with Palin on the ticket getting conservatives worked up the Obama/Biden ticket is looking a little dismal.
Which is exactly why you’re seeing such an active smear campaign against Palin right now.

    I am guessing this explains all the mud slinging from the left? I like Sarah Palin and am impressed how real her family is. She is the perfect candidate for our party.

    The Republicans show their commitment towards equality for women while Barry says “NO HILLARY, NO WAY NO HOW”!

    Ya gotta love it. If McCain chooses to serve only one term then Palin can run against Hillary in 2012.

    This all resonates positive for America. Meanwhile the Democrats are hung up on their hate for Bush. Same old DNC, stuck on stupid…

    She's a charismatic unknown and stirs excitement, things will calm down soon but it's quite a ride now. Most of the complaints against her like the troopergate (TM) just make me like her more. I doubt she's a 'perfect candidate' Za Za but I love the way she can plow through a problem.

    Did you mean to say what I think you say? :)

    FlyOnTheWall, I didn't mean she was perfect. No one is. BUT I do believe she is a Great Choice. She represents so much of what the Republican party has been trying to say for years! I find her endearing because of the fact that she has a precious down syndrome baby. Many liberals would have aborted, trashed, and snuffed that little life right out. Also she has a teenage daughter who is accepting Responsibility to have a baby she & her boyfriend created. It is a very unselfish decision. Sarah Palin is a real woman who is dealing with real life personal issues and doing it very well in the public eye. I am super impressed with her and like her politics too. She even has more executive experience than even Hillary. Hillary has ridden on the coat tails of her husband for years. I think she is what our country needs. YAY!

    BUT I do believe she is a Great Choice.

    I didn't read your comment as she was perfect I just meant more dirt will show up. I agree that she's a great choice because of how she deals with lifes messiness and willing to make tough decisions based on what's right.

    As a contrast, I think Obama is probably a near perfect candidate but would make a horrible president.
