Appearing on ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos over the weekend, Ifill suggested women voters are intrigued by Palin's tale: “You cannot underestimate the degree that women will be drawn to her story.”
Actually, you can underestimate it. Women voters are kinda, sorta turned off by Palin's story [emphasis added]:
Among women, who, theoretically, should form the base of Palin's support, nearly four in ten (39 percent) have a strongly unfavorable impression of her while just 20 percent were strongly favorable. Overall 39 percent of women had a favorable impression of Palin while 57 percent had an unfavorable one.
