Poll: 57 Percent View Palin Unfavorably

National Journal ^ | 12/14/10 | Jeremy P. Jacobs

[Sarah Barracuda]

the media knows that Sarah is a HUGE threat to the left..that is why they have been smearing her since the beginning. All this poll proves is that there are people dumb enough to believe all of the lies the media tells them, like sheep..its unfortunate but true. People still believe the media, even though no one trusts them, they still believe them

[FreeReign]

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

Bloomberg does a poll and you soak it up like a milksop.

[reasonisfaith]

Don’t worry about it. The poll is hogwash.

[yield 2 the right]

Count this FReeper as one of the smart 57%!

[Kickass Conservative]

So, we have almost two years to educate the ignorant Palin haters on the Constitution and the things that they attribute to Governor Palin that Tina Fey actually said.

[papertyger]

Hey, this is great news!

Remember Hillary’s negatives before she was in the Senate?

Now even the republicans would sweep her in if it meant getting rid of Obama.

[se_ohio_young_conservative]

I still can’t figure out what people have against her..

[Gene Eric]

>> Title: Poll: 57 Percent View Palin Unfavorably
>> Y2tR: Count this FReeper as one of the smart 57%!

The ‘smart’ does not add up.

There's something about a woman who doesn't abort her own children that drives the libs absolutely insane, and they make no effort to hide their rage. I really love how she drives the moonbats crazy.

But our disgraceful national news media destroyed her once already in 2008, and I am not looking forward to the sequel if she becomes the GOP nominee.

[Gene Eric]

>> I still can’t figure out what people have against her..

It’s the attention we give her.

[Sarah Barracuda]

For liberals, its her policies..for some women, its the fact that she is Pro-Life(leftist women love abortion) for some on the right..not sure..some just don’t agree with her on certain issues, which is fine by me. We can all agree to disagree..but its the hate that I don’t get..not agreeing with her and hating her to me are two different things. From what I have seen and heard from so many who have met her, she is a wonderful person, genuine, not a phony bone in her body, yet still she is hated. Maybe it’s jealousy who knows

[se_ohio_young_conservative]

Explain ?

[yield 2 the right]

We will have to agree to disagree on this topic ;>)

[Nik Naym]

“Count this FReeper as one of the smart 57%!”

How about if I just add you to my list of FReepin’ idiots?

[Billthedrill]

They are going after her with everything they have.

Yes, they are. They are absolutely terrified of this woman, and I think the reason it's inexplicable is that it isn't entirely sane. Fascinating thing to watch, actually, especially when you consider "whom the gods would destroy they first make mad."

I can tell you this much: disapproval turns to approval much more quickly than indifference does, especially in the face of this blast furnace of insane hatred. If she articulates her positions and sticks to them, the haters are done.

you need to read the internals and it will explain the results:

In politics as of today, do you consider yourself a Republican, Democrat, or independent?
26 Republican
31 Democrat
40 Independent
1 Other (VOL)
2 Refused/not sure

[SoConPubbie]

I believe the numbers. I’ve never seen the media and the elites work harder to smear someone.

So, you believe a poll that has poll numbers for the following question?:

Do you approve or disapprove of the job Barack Obama is doing as president?
(Follow with:) Do you approve or disapprove of the job he is doing: (Rotate all but first.)

	Approve	Disapprove	Not Sure
As president	47	48	5

Or do you believe a poll that has the numbers listed for the following question?:

I’m going to mention some things that have been talked about as legislative goals for the next two years. For each, please tell me if you favor or oppose. (Read list. Rotate.)

Pass a comprehensive immigration law

	Approve	Disapprove	Not Sure
As president	74	20	6

You really believe the realiability of a poll with these numbers when the same questions asked during McCain's attempt to pass Immigration Reform were the exact opposite?

If you do, you're not thinking with the brains God gave you.

[unseen1]

I’m I don’t think so:

Do you consider yourself a supporter of the Tea Party Movement? (If yes, ask:) Do you consider
yourself a strong supporter, or just a supporter?
8 Yes, strong supporter
20 Yes, just a supporter
62 No, not a supporter
10 Not sure

Which do you think is better for the American people: for the Republicans and Democrats in Congress to
each stick to their principles even if it means gridlock and nothing gets done, or do you want the parties
to work together even if it means compromising some principles?
10 Stick to principles even if it means gridlock
87 Work together even if it means compromising some principles
3 Not sure

looks like the poll is loaded with dems and dem leaning indpendents....

In politics as of today, do you consider yourself a Republican, Democrat, or independent?
26 Republican
31 Democrat
40 Independent
1 Other (VOL)
2 Refused/not sure

[yield 2 the right]

Only on the question about Palin , the rest is bunk....

[unseen1]
