Over half of U.S. voters (51%) think reporters are trying to hurt Sarah Palin with their news coverage, and 24% say those stories make them more likely to vote for Republican presidential candidate John McCain in November.
Thirty-nine percent (39%) also believe the GOP vice presidential nominee has better experience to be president of the United States than Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.
But 49% give Obama the edge on experience, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey – taken before Palin’s historic speech Wednesday night to the Republican National Convention.

Having said that, I have no doubt Palin will close this gap and probably surpass The One as people get to know her better.
So funny because Palin’s not running for President, McCain is.
“taken before Palin’s historic speech Wednesday night”
the follow on results will be very interesting ...
“Community Organizer” vs. Mayor / Governor.
Thirty-nine percent (39%) also believe the GOP vice presidential nominee has better experience to be president of the United States than Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.

Not a bad statistic, given how long she has been on the election scene, but still shows a core of stupidity, ignorance and lack of Americanism. This core would vote for Joseph Stalin if he were the DemoRAT candidate....
If these numbers are an accurate reflection of the electorate's mood, then the media's repeated attempted smear jobs of Gov. Palin have failed miserably. Less than one in five voters is less likely to vote for her, despite their best efforts.
This bears repeating. The American public is getting fed up with the media’s bias towards Obama.
And the American public got a snootful of that media bias during the past week’s lynching of Palin.
“”””The findings, nevertheless, are troublesome for the embattled news industry and parallel what voters said in surveys earlier this summer. Sixty-eight percent (68%) of voters now believe most reporters try to help the candidate they want to win, and 49% believe reporters are trying to help Obama this year. Only 14% think they are trying to help McCain. In another survey, 55% said media bias is a bigger problem for the electoral process than large campaign donations””””””
And those very same 49% couldn't provide even ONE reason why they say that. Idiots.
These respondents are to report to Re-Education Camp immediately!
I tell you, if this was taken BEFORE, the speech, then this guy (NOBAMA) is TOAST!!!
After the events of the past week, I will find no maximum threshold of satisfaction to see the otherside utterly pulverized and destroyed at the voting booth!
Keep in mind there are still two months remaining until the election. There are a lot of good and bad days ahead.
...voters equate experience with how many times one is on TeeVee...

Yes, and we must keep in mind, when reading any such data, that half the people in this country are ignorant fools, many of which cannot even read or speak English.... polls can not only be deceptive in thier results, but can be made to say just about anything whomever is paying for the poll, wants it to.
As Sarah said last night, when you are Governor, you can’t vote ‘present’.
Since the media is intentionally hiding Obama and his shrew’s background, the American people have to be shown who and what they are in detail. The stakes and the danger are too high not to.
