59% of a minority party is not nearly enough to win a national election.

Yeah, but who cares about winning. The election of 2008 clearly shows winning is an overrated goal.

Independents are fleeing the socialist democrat party as well. After Oboma, people are going to be screaming for conservatism. There's still a years worth of Obomas damage to come.

Can you point to a survey which shows a higher score for any other likely GOP contender?

If that 59% stay home in disgust at the Party Nominee, the Nominee’s supporters will be trying to win a national election with...

...wait for it...

...41% of a minority party.

May I suggest going with the choice of the 59%?

59% is pretty good at this stage, considering that a portion are GOP libs and a portion are only listening to what they hear on tv and don’t have a realistic view of Palin. I would doubt anyone would score higher at this point.

When given the choise of Sarah or a democrat, the rest of the party will most decidedly vote Sarah.

The potential nominee almost always gets at least 90% of the party vote. Even the hapless Juan McCain, who shared the values with less than 40% of Republicans, still managed to get around 90% of the Republican Party vote when it came down to it.
I don't see why a Sarah Palin presidential candidate shouldn't get over 90% of the Republican vote with ease, if she is nominated.

Do you have a very favorable, somewhat favorable, somewhat unfavorable or very unfavorable impression of Sarah Palin?

21% Very favorable
30% Somewhat favorable
14% Somewhat unfavorable
29% Very unfavorable
5% Not sure

Unless I’m reading this wrong, she has a 51% approval rating, not with Republicans, with LIKELY VOTERS.
