A growing number of voters have concluded that Senator John McCain’s running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska, is not qualified to be vice president, weighing down the Republican ticket in the last days of the campaign, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.
All told, 59 percent of voters surveyed said Ms. Palin was not prepared for the job, up nine percentage points since the beginning of the month. Nearly a third of voters polled said the vice-presidential selection would be a major factor influencing their vote for president, and those voters broadly favor Senator Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee.
And in a possible indication that the choice of Ms. Palin has hurt Mr. McCain’s image, voters said they had much more confidence in Mr. Obama to pick qualified people for his administration than they did in Mr. McCain....
Over all, views of Ms. Palin were apparently shaped more by ideology and party than by gender. Ms. Palin was viewed as unprepared for the job by about 6 in 10 men and women alike. But 8 in 10 Democrats viewed her as unprepared, as well as more than 6 in 10 independents and 3 in 10 Republicans.

bunk
Just say no to drugs.
Why post this garbage ?
I have seen you post a lot of anti Palin propaganda. What is your deal ?
This election will be lost on policy, not Palin...
Well how bout that a NYT toll poll bout Palin....LOL! What a joke they are, just like the LAT.
And when the pollster asked the name of Obama’s running mate the respondents said, “You know, that other guy.”
Still no “poll” on how Joe the Plumber is doing? LOL! Fools!
Growing Fear of Sarah Palin entices NY Times into another Palin hit-piece.
Too late Times, how’s the stock doing today?
New York Times? Didn’t they used to be a newspaper or something like that?
MSM is getting quite rabid these days. Hope we can shut them up soon.
ha ha ha ha. These kinds of articles are worse than “push polling”. I never gave a dime towards this election until Palin was chosen.
If Obama has the election wrapped up, why the daily reminders that Sarah is a drag?
I’m voting for Sarah on Tuesday.
The same poll that regularly oversamples democrats by 10-12% and has McCain behind by double digits?
The dinosaur media: doing its best to misinform the next generation before it finally chokes on its vile lies.
