CNN – 9/9/08: When it comes to support for Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, a new national poll suggests men and women don’t see eye to eye.
Men figure strongly in the support for Sarah Palin. Here, supporters gather Monday in Lee’s Summit, Missouri.
A CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey out Tuesday indicates that 62 percent of men questioned have a favorable opinion of the Alaska governor, nine points higher than women.
The gender gap is also apparent when it comes to whether 
Palin is qualified to serve as president. Fifty-seven percent of male respondents said Palin was qualified, 14 points higher than women. A majority of women polled, 55 percent, said Palin is not qualified.
Response to Mike Cannali,
How can you say Obama has no experience- next to Palin and McCain? Unfortunately, people who think similarly are stifling the progress of this country. Just because he is black and attractive- don’t hate on him. You mean it’s okay to have a hockey mom (admittedly so with little experience to run the country). Like Matt Damon says “Now that is scary”. How would she deal with foreign policy and foreign leaders? We would be in a lot of trouble (like we are now- maybe worse!)
Obama has experience not only in the Senate, but working with all kinds of people from diverse backgrounds – and is out for the common good- and that is change and not this political jargon McCain and Palin are up to. ENOUGH with the political games (as Obama says). Let’s get the country on the right track. Lord knows he can do it and will if given the chance(don’t be so racist). I can’t believe he is not leading in the polls by a much larger margin. The whole reason why McCain chose Palin is to to get the evangelical rights’ vote (and foolishly the womens’ vote- those not too bright on the issues)
Just please America wake up and vote for OBAMA- We need an honest sincere person running this country – not more political jargon that is just denigrading our country to the rest of the world. Obama can get us on the right path again… Also, he is a Harvard grad (magna cum laude), first black editor for Harvard Law Review, Lawyer, Senator, Congressman… not to mention all of his other accomplishments that have gotten to him to where he is today (community organizer that did a lot of good for a lot of poor people in Chicago- not just an average looking middle-aged woman who happened to get chosen for political reasons. Millions and millions chose him in the election (over Hillary)- doesn’t that tell you something?
