Obama and McCain Remain Popular; Palin Unfavs Top 50


By contrast, ratings for GOP No. 2 Sarah Palin continue to slump. In
each Post-ABC poll since the GOP convention, Palin's negatives have gone
up among likely voters. Just after the party's nomination convention, 29
percent of likely voters held unfavorable views of Palin; in the new
poll that is up to 51 percent.
