Polls Imitate Liberal Dudes

Three weeks ago, we criticized the Washington Post and the NY Times for saying, without any support that Palin's selection would result in disaffected Hillary supporters flipping to McCain.

At the time, we argued:

Virtually no one in the mainstream media has decided to take the radical step of waiting until there is a poll conducted on the effect of Palin’s selection on former Hillary supporters before making generalized statements of how disaffected Hillary supporters are “energized” by the pick.

Let’s get real. When those poll numbers get back, an insignificant number of former Hillary supporters will now support McCain because of the pick. It is completely irresponsible of the media to create a narrative by selectively seeking anecdotes from cherry-picked citizens, instead of relying on scientific polling data.

Well, those polls are in. And since the Palin pick, Barack's support amongst white woman has grown.
