New poll numbers indicate that Sarah Palin is now as unpopular as Nancy Pelosi.

Obviously, a heavily biased poll, which is designed to "head her off at the pass" in order to avoid a general election disaster for the Kenyan in the White House if she did run.
Then next form of MSM activist journ-o-lism — gin up a poll to try and lash Pelosi to Palin and then write copious stories about how “divisive” Palin is.
Gee. I must’ve missed where the MSM admitted that Pelosi was unpopular in the first place.
Bingo.
They appear to have missed the most important connecting point—that both names begin with a P.
Unfortunately, the more unpopular Pelosi gets with voters across the country, the more popular she is among voters in her home district of San Francisco.
Too bad.
Over exposure can turn around and bit you on the arse. Candidates have to find a way to get their name out there, but not so much that people get tired of you, or irritated by you. I was concerned early on that Palin might not get this mix right, if she pursued her own show, took a consulting spot on FoxNews, and stayed in the spotlight in additional ways. This may be evidence of that concern being realized.
At the same time, it’s easy to see where Yahoo/the Washington Post could be gaming these polls too.
Frankly, I don’t know how Obama’s approval numbers remain above 20%. Probably using the same techniques, only in reverse, that Yahoo/the Washington Post used here.
The populace at large will not be voting for Palin early next year. Republicans will be, if she declares. Registered voters will determine that, not a broad spectrum of the public.
These early poll are intended to move public opinion, IMO.
I don’t give them much attention.
I am sure than the other Republican possibilities are feeding this, but the MSM is pushing the ABP agenda. They are not afraid of Mitt, who is a modern day Dewey.
If she is so unpopular, why they want to write about her?
Looks like they want to make her more popular.
What I find most intriguing is how most of the people leaving comments at the site are actually buying the garbage being sold to them by the video/pollsters.
Those commenters are still believing that it’s still 2008 and that 2010 didn’t happen and that the “tea party” is not relevant anymore. Idiots!
Didn’t someone else post this the other day?
So is this going to be interpreted as further proof that we need her to run in 2012?
Palin’s strategy aimed to keep the MSM from burying her in the back pages. You are not taking into account the full-court press that backed her in a corner in Alaska. Once the Democrats joined the corrupt Murkowski machine, she was between a rock and a hard place. The Democrats are the reason why Murkowski is still sitting in the senate.
The difference is Pelosi is for her actions as an elected official while Palin is for what the MSM has been able to “hang” on her at every turn. “Why Palin used 5 extra sheets of TP when she went to the bathroom yesterday.”
LOL. Palin didn’t cram Hussein’s DeathCare down our throat.
Palin didn’t add trillions to our national debt.
Palin didn’t embrace the crooks in the Democrat party.
Palin didn’t go to Syria and suck up to the dictator.
This is a push poll.
Unlike many here on FR, I do not necessarily think SP will run for President.
If she does, she will have to earn my vote just like the rest of the field.
I have not picked a candidate yet...if I HAD to vote for someone today, it would be Herman Cain. But I am open to being convinced.
Frankly, I think SP will be more powerful as a kingmaker than a chief executive. She is da bomb as a speechmaker, fundraiser, and polemicist.
Her PAC has gotten a good chunk of my money—probably around $500: more than any other PAC in the last two years.
I have this feeling that if Sarah were on the 2012 ticket, she’d shellac this jackass in our White House . . . can you imagine the grass roots support that would come from not only the Tea Part, but from church groups, etc.
I do, however, fear that she’d be murdered or seriously injured by the lunatics on the left.
Nancy Pelosi could not be elected dogcatcher. She couldn’t get all dems, some indies and any of the right.
“Looks like they want to make her more popular.”
That is the part that is troubling.
Would democratic party leaders then go out and celebrate and give candy to their party members?
They might not do the celebrations openly, but they'd be "high-fiving" in private.
Were that to happen, it would be open season on demonRATs.
I don’t believe any BS poll about her. I go by the facts, every single event Sarah Palin is doing now and in the immediate future is SOLD OUT..one event she will be speaking to 7,000 people, sold out in a matter of days..these polls are made up to detract her supporters its that simple..purely psychological
