From today’s New York Times<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“Mrs. Palin\u2019s negatives are up, to 41 percent now from 29 percent in September…. Mr. Obama\u2019s favorability is the highest for a presidential candidate running for a first term in the last 28 years of Times\/CBS polls. Mrs. Palin\u2019s negative rating is the highest for a vice-presidential candidate as measured by The Times and CBS News. Even Dan Quayle, with whom Mrs. Palin is often compared because of her age and inexperience on the national scene, was not viewed as negatively in the 1988 campaign.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And in a newly released Pew Poll<\/a>:<\/p>\n

In addition, Sarah Palin appears to be a continuing \u2013 if not an increasing \u2013 drag on the GOP ticket. Currently, 49% of voters express an unfavorable opinion of Palin, while 44% have a favorable view. In mid-September, favorable opinions of Palin outnumbered negative ones by 54% to 32%. Women, especially women under age 50, have become increasingly critical of Palin: 60% now express an unfavorable view of Palin, up from 36% in mid-September. Notably, opinions of Palin have a greater impact on voting intentions than do opinions of Joe Biden, Obama\u2019s running mate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sarah Palin is the most disliked person of the 2008 campaign, and with good reason: she is quite possibly the dumbest and most incendiary person to be nominated for a such a high office.<\/p>\n
