Zogby International: "Voters Much More Confident of Biden's Skills

Likely voters, by a wide margin, said they would be more confident in Biden's ability to perform as President, if that were to become necessary, compared to Palin. Three out of four people - 75% - said they would have confidence in Biden acting as President. Just 48% said the same about Palin, while the other 52% said they would have little or no confidence in her abilities.

However, Palin helped herself in the debate, the Zogby Interactive survey shows. Nearly four in ten voters - 38% - said they now have a more favorable opinion of her after the debate, while 17% said they now have a less favorable opinion of her. Another 44% said their opinion of her had not changed.

Palin clearly exceeded expectations for her performance: 57% said she did better in the debate than they thought she would, while 38% said she performed about as expected. Just 4% said she did worse than they thought she would do.

Biden also helped himself, the poll shows, as 40% said they have a more favorable opinion of him now, compared to 18% who said they now have a less favorable view of him.

And while 38% said he performed better than they thought he would, 49% said he did about as expected, and 11% said he performed worse that they thought he would.
