We have now polled on Palin's favorability in 31 states. Voters in all 31 of those states have a negative opinion of her.
-12 of the states where we've polled on Palin went for John McCain in 2008. Her average favorability in those GOP friendly states is 38/54.
-8 of the states where we've polled are ones that George W. Bush won in 2004 and Barack Obama won in 2008- obviously the ones that will be most important to Republican prospects of taking back the White House. Her average favorability in those vital swing states is 32/61.
-There's been a lot of recent buzz that Palin is moving to Arizona. She will be getting away from a state where she is unpopular (33/58 favorability in Alaska), but she is moving to one where she's even more unpopular (32/62 favorability in Arizona.)

It's true. Palin has been so maligned and mercilessly attacked that she is not very popular. However, your bogus polls are not anywhere close to reality. I know the game many polling firms play: Generate bogus polls most of the time to acheive a political result and then conduct a few properly sampled polls, closer to actual election dates, that more closely reflect reality to be considered at least somewhat reliable.

ReplyDeleteHer polls have been consistently VERY LOW by different pollsters as well, Anonymous. Not to mention, PPP has been very accurate (NY-26, anyone?). Maybe it's time you accept the truth before you get your hopes smashed in 2012.
ReplyDeletePlease do hold your breath, Anon. It's obvious that you don't have much to fear from brain damage.

ReplyDeleteah, yet another pre-programmed conservabot. I assume he or she or it was talking about Rasmussen. Hey, anon, go to this website to complain.
In which states is she more popular than Obama? That would be interesting to see.
ReplyDeleteThis seems like a reasonable indicator of the average intelligence of the people of each state.
ReplyDeleteThe higher Palin's favorables, the dumber the people.
well it's true that Palin favor is more higher as compare to Obama but in other case Obama wins & become a US president so the favor shouldn't work to make come up Palin.
