Rasmussen’s daily tracking poll shows that non-committed voters don’t see much difference between Barack Obama’s and Sarah Palin’s experience levels:
“Perhaps most stunning is that, among unaffiliated voters, just 42% believe Obama has better experience than Palin to be President. Thirty-seven percent (37%) say Palin has the edge on experience.”
Among all U.S. voters, Obama leads in the experience area by 49 percent to 39 percent, according to Rasumssen.
Most of the interviews for the poll were conducted before Palin’s speech last night.
The poll also revealed that the media’s negative coverage of Palin may have backfired:
“Over half of U.S. voters (51%) think reporters are trying to hurt Sarah Palin with their news coverage, and 24% say those stories make them more likely to vote for Republican presidential candidate John McCain in November.”
