NEW YORK Sarah Palin has gone from the most divisive figure in politics to the most polarizing within the GOP. John Avlon on the polls that show her path to the nomination keeps getting steeper.
Call off the coronationthe medias caught on to the slow motion implosion of Sarah Palins popularity, and with it her prospective presidential campaign.
A new Washington Post/ABC News poll found that Palins approval ratings among Republicans had declined by double digits since October, while her strongly unfavorable rating reached 17 percent among the GOP and 28 percent among Republican-leaning independents. This shift in the conservative populist tide provoked a series of memorable (and frankly enviable) headlines like The Incredible Shrinking Sarah Palin from Politico and other outlets.
But the real story is the continued erosion of support for Sarah Palin. By the end of her three-month stint as John McCains VP nominee, 59 percent of American voters believed that Sarah Palin was not ready for the job, and 47 percent of self-described centrists said they were actually less likely to vote for McCain because of Palins presence on the ticket.
There was no doubt that she was beloved by the conservative base, but one year after the election, with Palin acting as voice of the opposition, 63 percent of Americans already said that they would not seriously consider her for president.
By April 2010, even 47 percent of Tea Party supporters said that Sarah Palin would not have the ability to be an effective presidentwhile only 40 percent believed she would. At the height of Tea Party enthusiasm, Palins conservative populist base was saying thanks, but no thanks to a prospective presidential campaign. It was a judgment call by the people who knew her best..

Which has exactly WHAT to do with her qualifications to be a political candidate? Beautiful or ugly have nothing to do with it.

Sarah is making a ton of money and would be a fool to run for the presidency. Most people feel that she is not qualified anyway. She's still a good looking woman though.
Palin is a never-was who is also a never-will-be. Her sole claim to fame is that she was selected to be the VP Candidate.....
She's a Liberal and a Hypocrite. That the Republican Party would even consider her as a potential candidate is a farce. That any Conservative would even consider supporting her in any way is even more laughable.
Sarah Palin is a gift wrapped distraction to keep liberals eyes off the real ball.
