Sarah Palin isn’t qualified to be president, 49% of Americans say, while 64% think Joe Biden is, according to a new poll from the Wall Street Journal and NBC News. Seniors particularly put more confidence in the Democrat (74%) than Alaska's governor (37%). And while only 7% of Democrats believe Biden is not qualified, 15% of Republicans hold that view of Palin. The presidential race remains a dead heat, with Barack Obama up 48% to 46% over John McCain.
