Rasmussen

Rasmussen says Palin made a good first impression:

Sarah Palin made a good first impression. She was unknown nationally before being introduced as the GOP Vice-Presidential pick but is now viewed favorably by 53% of voters nationwide. Her counterpart, Joe Biden, is viewed favorably by 48%. While Palin has made a good first impression, the more significant numbers will come a week from now after the nation has a chance to learn more about her.

However, looking at the crosstabs, it shows that among independent voters, the selection of Palin makes 9% more likely to vote for him, and 31% less likely to vote for him. It looks like the pander may not pan out as well as Republicans had hoped.
