For Immediate Release http://www.emilyslist.org/news/releases/palin_poll_memo/ National polling on women voters and the McCain-Palin ticket On behalf of EMILY's List, Garin-Hart-Yang Research Group conducted a national survey among 800 women voters to assess their reactions to and perceptions of Sarah Palin as John McCain's running mate. Interviewing was conducted on August 31 and September 1, 2008. The margin of error for the findings is +/- 3.5 percentage points.
Independently of any late-breaking news regarding Sarah Palin's family situation, the results of this poll for EMILY's List among women voters clearly demonstrate that John McCain's selection of Governor Palin as his running mate will create more of a drag than a lift on the Republican ticket. First, this selection puts John McCain squarely in the realm of politics over principle in women voters' eyes. Women voters see the choice of Governor Palin as being driven by politics rather than by any sense of conviction on Senator McCain's part that she has the experience and qualities to make a good vice president. Women voters' view of McCain's selection of Palin contrasts sharply to their view of Barack Obama's selection of Joe Biden as his running mate.
