Palin's Up, Obama's Down


Sarah Palin has erased her drop in the polls that followed her resignation as Alaska governor, so says the CNN polls. After she resigned her approval rate dropped to 39%. Americans are split on Palin, with 46% saying they have a favorable opinion of her and an equal amount saying they have an unfavorable view. There is a gender gap too, instead of women liking her, men do; 51% percent of men see her in a positive light, with an nearly equal amount of women view Palin in a negative way. McCain brought her in to appeal to the women voters, not the men in the first place. Hmmm...Maybe that newsweek magazine showing her in shorts helped her out with her male voters.

Another poll finds that Obama is down to 48% approval rate. The drop is mostly from the noncollege white voters. Six out of ten people favor Obama's plan for Afghanistan. But the approval rates for Regan and Clinton also dropped to below 50% in their first year.
