US women voters turned off by Sarah Palin

“If John McCain thought putting Sarah Palin on the ticket would be a game changer, he may have been right but not in the way he intended,” said the group’s president Ellen Malcolm.
“Senator McCain has seriously misjudged women voters if he thinks he can win them over simply by putting a woman on the ticket,” she said.
“Women voters take their votes seriously and the more they learn about Governor Palin, the less likely they are to support the McCain-Palin ticket.”
The poll, carried out by random dialing of 800 women on Sunday and Monday, shows that 50 percent of women voters felt McCain picked Palin out of political expediency and not because he believes she has the experience to do the job.
Only 29 percent said he had picked her to run in the November 4 elections because he believed she was qualified to be vice president.
And when asked which ticket had the most experience to run the country, 52 percent opted for the Democrats compared to 37 percent for the Republicans.
