I doubt the story completely, you are free to think as you like.

You know, you are right that the poll was dated 12/28. However, I just did a search of most of the words that could possibly be used as a title, and I was unable to find any previous thread posted that discussed this poll.

Obviously you read one, since you clearly say this has been posted numerous times.

Would you indulge an old man, and give me a link to one of those previous posts? Thanks.

There have been multiple posts about the CNN Gallup poll. I try to read all the threads about Sarah, so I found it odd that I hadn’t seen the multiple postings of this poll that you saw and discussed already.

See post 37. By the way, to become Governor she knocked off a sitting Republican Governor, and defeated a two term Democrat Governor in the general, then as Governor she became the most popular Governor in America, and even after the worst national assault we have ever seen, she left office with 56% approval.

Anyone could’ve beat Frank Murkowski in 2006. Hell, Palin wasn’t even the only one to get more votes than Murkowski that year in the GOP primary as John Binkley did so as well.

I guess PPP needed some money or something. Who did they call, every lib in Alaska? I suppose in order to get attention, a poll about Newt or Huck is worthless.

I have the same problem locating stories too before I post. I only got upset that the date that seekandfind used was not what was on the article leading me to wonder if there was some sort of an agenda. Here are two threads I was involved in yesterday:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2649112/posts

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2649070/posts

I saw others I did not get involved with. It appears the titles reference individual blogs who write about the PPP poll making it difficult to identify in a FR search.

Well, we now know what happened to "Baghdad Bob." He writes for these people.

After U.S. Troops Penetrated Central Baghdad: April 5, 2003, Baghdad Bob said:

"Nobody came here. Those America losers, I think their repeated frequent lies are bringing them down very rapidly....Baghdad is secure, is safe."

Nonsense, the two term, term limited Democrat Governor that she defeated in the general after taking out the Republican incumbent, proved that.

Well, I like her so obviously the polls are wrong.

While Palin had an approval rating in the 80s early in her term as governor, by May 2009, her approval had dropped to a low of 54 percent.

In other words, polls fluctuate so any polls taken today are meaningless.

Remember this state sent her royal highness, princess Murkowski back to Washington on write in votes. There are a lot of spoiled, greedy, and ignorant people up here who are easily lead down the garden path. What kind of people does giving away money attract and create?

It's a well known fact that Sarah Palin is the most unpopular major political figure in the country...

Where are they polling? Pelosi's district?

My $.02 is they are repeating this ‘point’ incessantly hoping it will eventually become true; eventually will never come however.

I saw those threads, they were about the CNN poll,which is different than the PPP poll.

This was the first time I saw the PPP polling information here at FR. BTW, that one thread with the 12/29 date was about a poll conducted back before christmas; so it was rather old as well.

I generally don’t think of 2 days as being old, especially if they weren’t posted already.

Ah, but I see your point. Both of those stories about the CNN poll also mentioned the PPP poll; it just wasn’t the headlines, so I didn’t notice.

I don’t generally follow these polling threads closely,...

That's odd. According to Gallup, she ranks as the second most admired woman in the country.

Unfortunately, she’s behind SHrillary Clinton. Which I find even more odd.

"Well, I like her so obviously the polls are wrong."

Sadly, this is the thinking of most Palin fans. They don't pay attention to facts.
