Sarah Palin's House Campaign Is A Disaster As She Leads Santa Claus By Just 13 Points

.




The top four finishers in round one of the voting go to a ranked-choice runoff, and in each of the models for the ranked-choice voting Palin is eliminated.

The answer to why Palin is eliminated can be found in the approval ratings for each candidate:



A good rule of thumb when it comes to ranked voting is that the candidate with the nearly 60% negative rating does not have a good chance at victory in a ranked voting general election. Palin has the highest negatives of anyone in the primary, and while her name recognition should be more than enough to get her through the primary, her high unfavorable rating makes it unlikely that she can win a general election.

Only 1% of survey respondents have not heard of Sarah Palin and yet she's slated as a loser.
