QUESTION: Has the media negatively or positively affected your view on Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin?

METHOD: I would ask an even number of self proclaimed Democrats, Republicans, Independents, and "undecided" voters. That's one of the most important factors to avoid a bias response by asking too many Democrats (who will likely say they see her in a more negative light now) and too many Republicans (who will likely claim she is unfairly put in a negative light or that she is actually being put in a positive light). Independents will likely give a more objective response, but the undecided voters are the real wild card. Their responses are totally unpredictable and can't be predicted too effectively.

HYPOTHESIS: More people will have a more negative view on Sarah Palin because of the media's potrayal of Palin.
