Gallup doesn’t have new numbers up so Obama’s still +6. However, they have an article saying the same thing that Rasmussen is saying—Obama’s support has increased over the past few days because the PUMAs are picking him over McCain.
Both Rasmussen and the CNN poll had internals saying that while men loooved the Palin pick (imagine that!) women weren’t so enamored. The numbers would seem to confirm that, at least so far.
Remember, the Pubbie convention is just getting started. We won’t know for sure if Palin helps or hurts for about a week.
A lot of women are achievment deficient. A self made woman like Palin makes them feel bad about themselves. It is the opposite of Bill Clinton's "I feel your pain". It is why Oprah is popular. Oprah tells women what they want to hear.
Hillary Clinton is popular because she achieved success the old fashioned way, she married it.
A self made woman, makes most women feel deficient.
