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.
