Poll on Teabastards and Palin: She's not that popular

[Quantum Windbag]

Poll: Tea Party Shows Favorable Opinion; Skepticism for Sarah Palin - ABC News






Palin's own ratings are weaker, apparently hurt rather than helped by her return to the spotlight. Fifty-five percent of Americans see her unfavorably, the most basic measure of a public figure's popularity, and 71 percent believe she's not qualified to serve as president, a position she said Sunday she'll consider seeking. Both negatives are at new highs.

Palin's more popular in her own party -- 69 percent of Republicans see her favorably. But far fewer, 37 percent, do so "strongly." (By contrast, in an ABC/Post poll last month, 70 percent of Democrats had a strongly favorable opinion of Barack Obama.) More problematic for Palin is that even in her own party 52 percent think she's not qualified for the presidency -- up by 16 points from an ABC/Post poll in November, shortly before the publication of her memoir, in which she criticizes the strategy of the 2008 Republican presidential campaign.

Far more Americans see Palin strongly unfavorably, 38 percent, than strongly favorably, 18 percent. Among independents -- swing voters in national politics -- just 36 percent see her favorably overall, vs. 53 percent unfavorably, and only 29 percent think she's qualified for the presidency.

Why do you keep obsessing then?

Huckabee has been hinting around that he's going to run for prez in 2012.

That splits social conservatives, the fundie crowd, with Palin; that's how Romney wins.

Seriously,

How often do you see threads discussing Palin that are started by Tea Partiers?

Republicans?

DEMOCRATS?!?!?

If the right ever catches the obsession with Palin that is eating up the left, she could become King of the Universe.

I still have faith in the ability of Palin to build a coalition of wingnut idiots and take the nomination

We can only hope

Is the Huckster far enough to the right for the Tea Baggers? That might be trouble, expecially if Palin, the quitter, throws her oil stained helmet into the ring.

DRILL BABY DRILL!

I think she is more popular with liberals than conservatives... You guys are so desperate to destroy her and nobody knows why...

The guy's been here 6 months and started 1 thread about Palin. Why do you people keep obsessing on falsely accusing posters of obsessing on Palin?
