PRINCETON, NJ -- More than half of Americans, 52%, now view Sarah Palin unfavorably, the highest percentage holding a negative opinion of the former Alaska governor in Gallup polling since Sen. John McCain tapped her as the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee. Her 40% favorable rating ties her lowest favorable score, recorded just over a year ago.
The latest results come from a Nov. 4-7 Gallup poll, conducted shortly after the midterm elections delivered some big wins as well as losses for Tea Party movement candidates Palin had actively campaigned for in the past year.
Palin's image has consistently tilted negative since July 2009, and was nearly as negative in October 2009 as it is today. Public views on her were also more negative than positive just before the 2008 election, in which President Obama handily defeated the Republican ticket. By contrast, Americans' initial reactions to Palin after her debut at the Republican National Convention that year were mostly favorable.
Now that the 2010 midterms are over, the big question swirling around Palin is whether she will run for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination. Given her high name recognition and broad popularity among Republicans, 80% of whom now view her favorably, she is clearly in a strong position to seek it. However, her negative image among the other party groups -- 81% of Democrats and 53% of independents view her unfavorably, while fewer than 4 in 10 view her favorably -- casts some doubt on her viability in the general election.
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Run Sarah run!

Sarah Palin's Unfavorability Numbers Hit New High, Survey Finds
The number of Americans viewing Sarah Palin unfavorably has hit the highest point since she burst onto the national stage over two years ago, according to a poll out Friday.
The Gallup survey conducted in the days after the Nov. 2 election found more than half of Americans -- 52 percent -- hold a negative opinion of the former Alaska governor. Only 40 percent viewed her favorably, which ties her lowest score from about a year ago.
Palin, the GOP's vice presidential candidate in 2008, is among Republican names being floated as a possible presidential pick in two years time. The poll found she might have a good chance of capturing the nomination: fully 80 percent of Republicans have a positive opinion of her.
Run Sarah run!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Palin-Bachmann are unbeatable!!
Palin-Limbaugh are unbeatable!!

The tingle effect is waning.

She is good at what she does - draw fire from the far left communists and progressives and make them expose themselves for the traitors and radicals they are while allowing the repubs who run for office to largely fly under the radar.

CORRECT - IF she doesn't run in 2012.
But methinks her ambition is greater than her understanding of the perception independents have of her.
People think she's dumb. Maybe it's true, maybe it's not. Doesn't matter. In voting, perception is all that matters. If she TRULY wants Obama to lose, she'll back thune starting tomorrow and the GOp will win 42 states. If it's all about sarah, she'll ignore the polls and run, knowing polls say she has the poorest chance of winning against obama.

Agreed. I only want her to run if there is a clear and well better than 50% chance to victory. If notm, she needs to stay out.

What would you put her % chance at now? Better or worse than 50%?
-

49%.
I think there are a ton on variables still at play here.
Does obama move to the center?
Does the GOP overplay their hand and give obama something to run on?
Does obama even run?
Does she up her game?
Does Romney or huck have major meltdowns?
Does the economy improve ?
etc etc.
-
49%.
Seeing as she rates a full TWENTY POINTS lower than Romney or Huck in polling - what do you put their % chance at beating obama, currently?
Sheeit... IMO, 49% is very gracious. Polls say Obama would destroy her by 10 points - even as we're in a damn depression.

Why would I give a shit? ::)
All your bumping of my threads does is show (as if it weren't already established) that you have no life, I own your mind, you are permanently butthurt...
and you are relegated to jerking off into a sock at night. :D
-
So instead of defending the crap you post on this board - you have nothing but insults? Thats' cool. If I were you, I probably have nothing left either after the shill job you have done for 3 years.
China - laughed at.
Korea - laughed at.
Russia - laughed at.
SNL - laughed at.
Fed Policy backing Bernake - laughed at
Germany & France - laughed at.
Economic policy - laughed at
Health Care - FAIL
Wars - Failing.

you know..I kinda agree with this..but that goes to show you how bad off the Repubs are when they need an idiot to provide cover for their mainstream candidates

If Sarah runs it will be a blood bath just getting out of the Republican primaries....Huck and Romney and a bunch of others will come down really hard on her and expose her as an idiot....
plus you can definitely count on her to say some stupid things that will get her in trouble..she will lose the primary and even if she makes it through to run against Obama she will be so damaged that she will lose miserably to Obama or will be so beat up, she will have no respect from the American people and won't be able to govern anyway..

When SNL laughed at Palin, they were inconsequential and stupid.
When they laugh at Obama, it matters now?

No - other than the fact that SNL always hated sarah. They used to worship Obama and now laugh at him.

do you watch snl? Did you not see them mock the preferential treatment he got over hilary in the debates? "Would you like a pillow, mr Obama?" and "Hilary, why do you hate puppies so much??"
I love SNL... they kick his ass too.
-
I actually want Sarah to do exactly what she is doing now while letting hopefully people like Thune build a base and ride in like the cavalry.
Sarah is like the battle ram and first wave of troops. She wears down the enemy and gets them to shoot their load all while the cavalry waits in the wings to come in and deliver the death blow. This is what I have in mind 240.
-
she's gonna run.
and at that point, it's gonna get ugly INSIDE the republican party.
They know it. palin will do battle with the other candidates - and it's a lose-lose.
if she wins the nomination, the independents that believe she is dumb, and libs who hate her, will come out and vote Obama in full force.
If she LOSES the nomination, her little voting block will probably totally despise the person who wins (think: Romney) for being a lib, and won't show up to vote for him. They listened to their hottie hero sarah talk about how much like Obama the guy was for 12 months - now they are supposed to get motivated for him?
Sorry, but she's gonna run dude. And she's gonna hand Obama another 4 years. Most people are seeing it now.

did you like my clip? ;D

Palin / Bachmann
that is a dream ticket.

We are not laughing with you fool - WE ARE LAUGHING AT YOU.

And 49% chance. You cemented your status as board retard here.

Sarah Palin 'New York Times' Article Previews Possible Presidential Run
Updated: 11-17-10 09:43 AM
Sarah Palin is set to reveal, in what may be her most frank and clear terms yet, the necessary steps that she believes she must take in order to prepare herself for a presidential run in 2012, an undertaking that is looking increasingly likely. What's more, she spills it to the New York Times.
Palin admits to Robert Draper of the New York Times magazine that "proving my record" is "a hurdle I would have to cross, that some other potential candidates wouldn't have to cross right out of the chute," according to Politico's advance look of the article.
"That's the most frustrating thing for me -- the warped and perverted description of my record and what I've accomplished over the last two decades," Palin continued. "It's been much more perplexing to me than where the lamestream media has wanted to go about my personal life. And other candidates haven't faced these criticisms the way I have. ... I'm on television nearly every single day with reporters ... Now granted, that's mainly through my job at Fox News, and I'm very proud to be associated with them, but I'm not avoiding anything or anybody. I'm on Facebook and Twitter. I'm out there. I want to talk about my record, though."
In this, Palin seems to be trying to equivocate her Fox News and social media presence to a degree of open access that she has long been criticized for not possessing.
Asked by Draper if she's considering a run for president, a question that Palin seems to be asked almost daily -- if not more frequently -- the former Alaska Governor responded:
"I am...I'm engaged in the internal deliberations candidly, and having that discussion with my family, because my family is the most important consideration here."
RUN SARAH RUN !! :D :D :D :D :D

See, this is the big thing -
She HONESTLY BELIEVES that she faces the media now. No, she does not. She still limits her exposure to highly controlled setting like FOX news studios (where ppl like OReilly have STILL managed to get her to commit to Amnesty).... and Twitter? Facebook?
The minute she has to start doing town hall meetings - then she will see what actual media scrutiny is like. Suddenly the entire crowd, and all her opponents, will only have "gotcha" questions. You know, questions that require thinking...
It's gonna be amusing, I'll admit to that.
