Is America's honeymoon with Sarah Palin over? Polls suggest that might be so.
Palin appears to be losing some of her initial appeal as Democrats make gains in the polls.
The Alaska governor came out swinging at the Republican National Convention, energizing her party's base and shifting the momentum to John McCain's favor.
At rallies in the week following the convention, the McCain-Palin duo saw their best attendance and a newfound zeal, and the Republican ticket took the lead in national polls for the first time.
But polls show that the momentum has shifted once again.
Palin's favorable rating is at 40 percent, according to a CBS News/New York Times poll. That's down 4 points from last week. Her unfavorable rating is at 30 percent, rising 8 points in a week.
The poll was conducted September 12-16 and has a sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
