Say it ain't so low, Joe! The left and their media lapdogs have been barking quite a bit lately about how Sarah Palin's favorable rating among independents has fallen. But her overall favorables are actually in a statistical tie with those of Vice President Joe Biden, as his numbers have been dropping at a very steep rate.
But the real kicker is that among independents, Sarah Palin has a considerably higher favorability rating than does Biden, according to two recent Gallup surveys. In a poll conducted by Gallup Oct. 16-19, the veep's favorables among independents is just 32 percent. Palin's favorables among that same demographic, in another poll, this one conducted Oct. 1-4 by Gallup, show the former Alaska governor's favorables to be 41 percent among independents, nine points higher than Biden's.
Considering the pass given Biden by the Obama-loving media and how it has been portraying Palin in the worst possible light for well over a year now, we see those results as nothing less than remarkable.
Overall, Biden's favorables are at 42 percent, while Palin's are at 40 percent. The two-point difference is within the margins of error for both polls, so it's a statistical dead heat.
