Poll: More People Dislike Sarah Palin than Like Her

The much ballyhooed "Palin effect" on the McCain campaign and GOP efforts in general is no more. Or, if there is a Palin effect, it's likely a negative one. The evidence is in today's Research 2000 poll for DKos. Palin has higher unfavorables than favorables. Here's the gap between her positives and negatives over the past week:

Sept. 11: +17 (day the Gibson interview airs)

Sept. 12: +14

Sept. 13: +9

Sept. 14: +5

Sept. 15: +4

Sept. 16: +1

Sept. 17: -1 (today)

Today, 45% report an unfavorable view of Palin compared to 44% who have a positive view. John McCain has been trending down daily as well from a recent mark of +13 down to today's +3. By comparison, Barack Obama is +18 and Joe Biden +17.

If you don't trust the Research 2000 poll you can find the same trend in other polls, a sharp decline in favorability over the last week. Palin will be an anchor for the McCain campaign which explains this.

Palin has nowhere to go but down here...or maybe flatten out at 0. But with all the continuing noise coming from Alaska and each interview making her look worse...she could go down as thw worst VP candidate selection ever.
