Poll: 57 Percent View Palin Unfavorably
National Journal ^ | 12/14/10 | Jeremy P. Jacobs

Posted on 12/14/2010 5:25:20 PM PST by Nachum

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin continues to be a highly polarizing figure, with a whopping 57 percent viewing her unfavorably according to a new poll.

The Bloomberg survey, released Monday, also found that the negative feelings about Palin are particularly strong. A third -- 33 percent -- said they view Palin "very unfavorably." That's the same percentage that viewed her favorably cumulatively -- respondents who either viewed her "somewhat" or "very" favorably (!).

The survey results indicate that Palin faces a significant image problem as she decides to run for president.

Just look at how Pres. Obama's numbers compare. Obama scored a net negative job approval rating -- 48 percent said they disapprove of his performance as president while 47 percent approved, which is in line with other polls and shows the Bloomberg survey isn't a particularly good poll for the president. However, 52 percent view Obama favorably while 44 percent view him unfavorably.

More troubling for Palin is that it may be tough for her to change that perception. Only 10 percent are unsure of their opinion of her.

I think the last time the commies were this scared, Reagan announced that the bombing will commence in five minutes.

Well, you can thank Rinos like Karl Rove who attacked the Tea Party movement. I want Armageddon with these jerks and either they leave or we do.

THIS is Rove's fault too?

How many people in the general public have even HEARD of Rove, much less base their opinions on what he says? How many Democrats/Independents look to Rove to think for them?

Umm...the country?

Which, you'll notice, is an extremely different population from, say, Free Republic.

I'd prefer that conservatives take over the GOP and purge the RINOs from the party. If another Dole, McCain or Romney type is the candidate --- third party, and to hell with the GOP.

This is another liberal mainstream media fake poll.

The democrat mainstream media really fear Palin. So that should tell us to vote for Palin , at least to make liberal heads explode!

Palin will win!

This woman has vodoo charm I met her at a booksigning.

If the survey says they view Obama favorably I have to question how many respondents were democrats or liberals. Did they over sample blacks?

Forget humanity and what is right and wrong. Go away, hold your husband's hand and look at the mountains. You have the rare chance to live life. Live life.

The Bloomberg poll was conducted Dec. 4 to 7, surveyed 1,000 U.S. adults and had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percent.

Not voters or likely voters. Just “adults”...

I didn’t open the PDF file to see if it separated the ‘adults’ by party, but Bloomberg is not a reliable poll.

For example, if 57% do not view her favorable, then 43% do?

That suggests that she need only change the minds of 8% to win....lol.

WOW, your right. So all she has to do is change the minds of 8 percent of people and she wins..but either way, I don’t trust a bloomberg poll..they probably sampled a bunch of liberal goons
