flags a stunning finding in the
new NBC/WSJ poll:
Now, Palin's qualifications to be president rank as voters' top concern about McCain's candidacy -- ahead of continuing President Bush's policies, enacting economic policies that only benefit the rich and keeping too high of a troop presence in Iraq.
Respondents were read a list of things and were asked to pick the two that most concern them about McCain. Thirty-four percent named Palin, versus only 23% for the runner-up, which was that it seems likely he'd continue Bush's policies.
That would seem to suggest that Palin may have become a greater liability to McCain than Bush.
Separately, the poll's toplines show Obama with an expanded lead of 10 points over McCain among registered voters, 52%-42%.
