Money quote from the poll report at BigTenPoll.org:
The voters’ views of Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin have dimmed in the month since the first Big Ten poll. In September, half of voters in the national poll held a favorable view of the Alaska governor and 37 percent viewed her unfavorably. In the new poll, 44 percent of voters hold a favorable view of Palin and 48 percent have an unfavorable view.
Prometheus Unbound 
McCain is so out of touch with ordinary folks he clearly thought there was no difference between Alaska and the Mid West! Dressing Palin up in $150k’s worth of fine couture still doesn’t turn the pig with lipstick into anything more refined. One thing we do know now though, McCain doesn’t know the difference between a silk purse and a sow’s ear!
