Men’s support gives Palin edge in latest poll

When it comes to support for Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, a new national poll suggests men and women don’t see eye to eye.

The gender gap is also apparent when it comes to whether Palin is qualified to serve as president. Fifty-seven percent of male respondents said Palin was qualified, 14 points higher than women. A majority of women polled, 55 percent, said Palin is not qualified.

Overall, 50 percent of all respondents think Palin is qualified to serve as president, compared with 70 percent who see the Democratic nominee for vice president, Sen. Joe Biden, as qualified.

I’m confused. Could someone explain these numbers to me? If 50% respondents think Palin is qualified, as compared to 70% for Biden… then how the hell could McCain/Palin be polling ahead of Obama/Biden?
