This will be a tough nut to crack for Sarah but I believe she is up to the task.

What the hell is PPP?
Point to Point Protocol.

Oh, pishtosh. Is Sarah running for office in Alaska right now? If not, who gives a FReep?
We shall see.
How many times are you anti Palin folks gonna force us to discuss why this poll is irrelevant and skewed.
You say in your topic title that this article is from today. It is not. Just check the link. It is two days old. It was released Tues morning at 7AM. It has been posted numerous times over the last few days.
I don’t mind legit disagreement with Palin on issues but reheating old news over and over and saying it happened today is BS.
The purpose of polls is to influence public opinion, not to measure it.
Probably still bitter she up and resigned on them in the middle of her first term.
Sure it’s not good.....
if you believe this left-wing bullshit, that is.
Interesting......I recall them being pretty bad in the past so I was being dismissive. That last call doesn’t appear to be all that off.
Many Alaskans have no respect for their own who cater to lower 48 interests.
Too many Alaskans are so insular and provincial that they view what Sarah Palin is doing as tantamount to flirting with the enemy—anybody in the lower 48!
The RINO’s and king makers are working over time, especially with the rain makers and the governors association, to make king anyone who is not Sarah, and as early as possible.
She’s going to need a crew who is able, ready and smart to beat these early bookies trying to sew up the money and the pledges before she can even make up her mind. I wish Newt weren’t running so he could help her. Nobody is going to outjack Newt when it comes to combat and campaign smarts.
Quitting and then going national tends to lower public opinion among independents, no matter what the excuses are. The resignation cost a lot of support, including mine in a primary unless I’m stuck with a two way race like Romney who I cannot stand.
Nope, no bias here!!
I smell BS. When she left office, she was reported as having a 92% favorability rating. I suppose that was mostly Republicans and Conservatives. Of course, the Democrats, who have slimed her six ways from Sunday, “don’t like her”. So, what’s new?
REagan was unelectable since he was too conservative.
Pray for the Tea Party Congress
Actually Palin reached 93%, she was the most popular Governor in America, after becoming the veep candidate and announcing she was resigning, she left office at 56%.
To put that kind of very good rating in perspective, Governor Romney left office with 34% approval and became the darling of the establishment GOP and the media.
Considering why she left office in Alaska, as a conservative, you should be happy that she led a national conservative movement to one of it's greatest victories in American history.
You don't do that from Alaska or Hawaii, while the media, talk shows, publishing, newspapers, and the GOP establishment destroy you unchallenged down here in the contiguous 48 states.
Roger that. You’re whistling by the graveyard if you still think she’s popular there. I talked to an Alaska lawyer a couple weeks ago and he tells me that they (the citizens of Alaska) don’t like her because she quit. I wouldn’t doubt that the survey is darn close to accurate.
These threads are always fun. Reading the comments, I’ve learned that PPP leans left, that PPP was biased toward Tea partier Doug Hoffman, that Palin supporters are impervious to phone polling and cannot be counted, and that Alaskans once thought highly of Sarah, so it is impossible they could ever feel differently.
I’m all for ignoring polls two years out, but as I always say when these polls are posted, we can stick our heads int the sand, or argue about the numbers, or whatever we want to do. But Sarah Palin, should she decide to run for President, will have to overcome whatever truth there may be in the polling, to the point of convincing a majority of voting americans to come out and vote for her.
And as we learned in 2006, covering our eyes and denouncing the polls works a lot better before the election than after.
