conscientia mille testes
well first off your link took us to the ccn page which then you click into to get to the palin poll page which has no example of the poll...just sayin'.
It takes me directly to the page and the first paragraph: 56% of Americans disapprove of Palin.
no offense but I suggest you always read the poll itself, the sample questions demographics etc. if you can, it all counts. Cnn doesn't present one, or at least I could not find it or a link to it.
anyway here are some tidbits, notice gallups summation at the end.
and of course one has to remember the context and week in question- the media almost to a ma was still set up on trying to re package their **** up, but there was no apology, they just reset and began their strawman which obama polished for them in his speech. frankly considering the week the poll came out an gallups finds, it was wash, which could be seen considering the media array running against her, impressive on that count.

Obama's response to Arizona shooting rated higher than Palin's, poll says - The Hill's Blog Briefing Room

And
Palin's Image Worst Yet, Obama's Improves Slightly
Americans' opinions of three other major political figures -- President Barack Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and former Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin -- have varied little since last November. However, the current ratings for Palin and Obama are notable.
Palin's 38% favorable rating is her lowest (by two percentage points) since she became a well-known political figure after the 2008 Republican national convention, and her 53% unfavorable rating is her worst by a point. Palin has been a central figure in the recent debate over whether political rhetoric -- including hers -- was partly behind the Tucson shootings. Last week, she responded to these allegations by posting a much-publicized video response on the Internet. The recent news has not done much to change Americans' opinions of Palin, though.
Boehner Favorability Jumps; Obama Back Above 50%
And again, Palin's poll numbers dropped after she insisted on being at the center of the Giffords controversy.[/QUOTE]
the original q was if this 'speech' was the reason for a spike, Gallup says not quite, its been rising over the last months. looking at Q 16 in the pdf I laid out shows an interesting quotient re; the blurb i added regards the week of news and media overheating/hyping.
