New poll confirms that Americans don't like Palin, even though the media keeps forcing her on them



The number of Americans viewing Sarah Palin unfavorably has hit the highest point since she burst onto the national stage over two years ago, according to a poll out Friday.

The Gallup survey conducted in the days after the Nov. 2 election found more than half of Americans -- 52 percent -- hold a negative opinion of the former Alaska governor. Only 40 percent viewed her favorably, which ties her lowest score from about a year ago.

Palin, the GOP's vice presidential candidate in 2008, is among Republican names being floated as a possible presidential pick in two years time. The poll found she might have a good chance of capturing the nomination: fully 80 percent of Republicans have a positive opinion of her. ...........(more)

3. Whoever thought
of choosing her for the vice president candidate brought a plague on our country. She has sickened the minds of many gullible people.

5. Didn't I see a post here that said she had a 52%
approval rating? TMI and can't keep it straight. Maybe it wasn't on DU, perhaps the newz. :shrug: or I'm just losing my mind.

11. 40% favorable?
Bush the Stupider would have killed for a stratospheric approval rating like that.

12. Or it could read, "American's don't like Palin, BECAUSE the media keeps forcing her on them."
Sure, I know she's an idiot and there's no liking her really, but I'm sure that her exposure makes people like her less.

14. She'll win the nomination and then Bloomberg will enter the 2012 race as a independant and win.

15. The hard truth is Palin "still sells papers".
The media has yet to pass on even an innocuous story concerning her.
