Palin slipping further


Sarah Palin's numbers have been all over the board - but there's no second guessing what they have done over the past 2 weeks - plummeted. When she was tapped as VP candidate by McCain, she was the highest ranked (in popularity among voters) govorner in the US with an 86% approval rating. Then as far as rankings with republicans she was ranked at 77% (higher than McCain) the first few weeks of the campaign. And her first week on the trail she was viewed favorably by 57% of voters (also very high). Fast forward three weeks later, she was no longer pulling such high numbers - even in her own state. It seemed the more the country got to know about her, they turned against her (rightfully so). Most shocking, in Alaska. Whereas she was most popular, she now ranks at a 64% approval rating - a 20% drop. As far as how she is viewed by US voters, she is ranking a miserable 33% approval (over a 40% drop). And folks these numbers keep dropping, thank god. I knew America wasn't stupid.
