Palin A Drag on the Republican Ticket

A Newsweek poll conducted on 22-23 October reports that Sarah Palin is now a big liability for John McCain: "If voters could cast ballots separately for Vice President, Joseph Biden would beat Sarah Palin 54% to 37%. She is viewed unfavorably by 46% of voters and favorably by 44% percent. Twenty-two percent of voters said the choice of Palin as running mate made them 'a lot less likely to vote for McCain.'" The VP candidate does little better on the issue of her qualifications to be president: by a 55% to 40% margin votes now say she is not qualified for the job.
