Sarah Palin’s decision to resign as governor of Alaska lifted her standing among Republicans, according to a USA Today/Gallup Poll.
A USA Today story about the poll says, “Republicans are somewhat inclined to see her more favorably” in light of her announcement Friday. But neither that story nor one on Gallup’s web site gives precise numbers.
Seven out 10 respondents in the poll, conducted Monday, say their views about Palin weren’t influenced by her departure as governor.
Of those who were affected by the move, Democrats view Palin less favorably by a 4-to-1 margin and independents by a 2-to-1 ratio.
Two-thirds of Republicans support the idea of Palin as a major national political figure in the future, the poll says. Three-fourths of Democrats oppose that idea, as do 55 percent of independents.
As for a possible presidential campaign, 72 percent of Republicans say they would likely vote for her, compared to 44 percent of independents and 17 percent of Democrats.(continued)

It can only get better for her as 0bama will continue to lead this country on a path of destruction and the media being taken down with their fellow Demonrats they always build up with lies and Palin speaking out and not having the inept McPain handlers to hold her back.
Yep, she pretty much won the election, and she hasn’t even announced she is running yet..no wonder the libs are so scared, they have done the math, and they see that Sarah can beat Obama, so they are using the media to try to destroy her
WOW I missed the part about her having 17 percent of the Democratic vote, that is pretty darn huge, and 100 percent spot on, I have friends who voted for Hillary Clinton in the primary and voted for McCain in the election, they will all gladly vote for Sarah in 2012
“Sarah Palin’s decision to resign as governor of Alaska lifted her standing among Republicans, according to a USA Today/Gallup Poll. “
Well, at least those among us that think being a liberal punching bag makes no sense...and that we should punch back...you know, CONSERVATIVES... the RINO monkeys will chatter about it being too...something...can’t figure out WTF they want, short of “sitting in the corner whimpering” (thanks Ann Coulter) and acting like Dims...
Bwahahahahahaaaaaa!
Here is something to ponder:
The Media is all worried and soooo concerned with Michael Jackson’s children. They are concerned with their well being and that they are looked after.
Where is the concern from the Media concerning Sarah Palin’s Children and how they are treated and how David Letterman trashed them. The same media that is feining over Jackson’s kids think it is o.k. to trash Palin’s children
Why?
Go over and check out the just released PPP poll; to give you a sample it shows in 3 weeks that Sarah’s favorables/unfavorables has gone up by +7.

I was listening to Mark Stein out of WBEN Buffalo. After Rush signed off I listened to Sandy Beach, a local Buffalo guy, he was taking calls about Sarah Palin. The first hour, the callers one after the other, just said they adored Sarah. I thought perhaps I was witnessing something special, something that is not yet apparent to Fox News hosts (aside from Shawn and Gretta) or inside the beltway. Now there was some negative calls the 2nd hour, but hey this is Buffalo.
I thought the wizards of smarts told us she’s all done.
Morons.
“As for a possible presidential campaign, 72 percent of Republicans say they would likely vote for her,”
Yet within the last 48 hours, RNC Steele, an AA hire, has said that Palin is out for 2012. Steele proves the Peter Principle, again.
Did anyone read the Politico article today that the Beltway GOP ‘now wants to make friends with Sarah Palin’.
Do you think that maybe SarahPAC is taking in some serious coin now?
Yesterday Steele’s spokesperson Gail ? said that Steele recanted, or something to that effect.
Uh... what you’re missing is some basic math.
Based on the current voter registration levels, where 37% of people are registered Democrats, 28% are registered Republicans, and 34% are either Independents or with some other third party, the favorability ratings in the article give Sarah just 41%+ of the vote. Her unfavorables would result in about 58% of the people voting for somebody else.
Sarah may be very attractive to true conservatives, but we are a minority now — the rest have been snow-bama’d.
When those “moderate” Republicans, Democrats and Independents get their first light bill under cap & trade, can’t see their family doctor anymore and have to move to a trailer vs. a house, she’ll stroll into the White House.
I’m gonna make a prediction here....
The repubs that constantly dismiss SP will slowly begin to favor her...only b/c it will be unpopular for them not to...
and then....when the campaigns begin...they will hound her to drop out promising her a VP position once again...and before that, they will tout it all over in the media...associating her with running as VP....I’m just telling y’all...
There is my prophecy....
Plus....I hope she has bodyguards 24/7....there are people that hate her enough to kill her.
I've never sent any money to the GOP. I sent a thousand to Fred, and the GOP has been begging me for money ever since. I won't send money to the GOP, because they use it for things like getting Arlen Specter reelected. Maybe I can trust Sarah to spend it wisely.
