Quote:
The topline number on Sarah Palin's effect in Michigan is that 45% of voters say they are more likely to vote for John McCain because she is on the ticket, 35% say they are less likely to support McCain, and for 20% it makes no difference.

Digging deeper it appears her selection is having a mixed effect:

-It is helping to bring Democratic men into the Republican fold.
14% of Democrats in Michigan are supporting John McCain. Whereas before that group tended toward middle aged Democratic women, or prototypical Clinton supporters, it's now comprised 61% of men. By comparison just 42% of Democrats overall are men. Among all Democrats supporting McCain, 86% said the Palin selection made them more likely to support him.
