GOOD FIND! And that is exactly the feeling in ‘08 when America met SARAH and after the election.

Now the commie rats and rino’s want to tell us differently!

[org.whodat]

Do not think rove are Willard have anything to do with the 25% and in the survey you listed 20% said she hurt the ticket, do not know if it is the same people but I do know enough will set out the election to let Obummer win and I do not want to see that happen. All the wishing and hoping and spinning and calling people names that the Palin supporters have done has not and will not change those facts.

[newzjunkey]

She's NOT governor any more. She quit. Doesn't matter her justification, that's going to PISS OFF voters who put her into office when, just two years later, they're asked for their votes again for an even higher office.

This is not rocket surgery.

It's not a phony poll, just cold hard reality.

You have it wrong - it’s the anti Palin crowd who is doing the name calling and posting deception like the media pawns they are.

It's not a phony poll, just cold hard reality.

Are you shooting from your anti Palin hip or you have some evidence that this is not a phony poll?

>>> Anchorage Daily News: Poll shows Alaskans would vote for Obama over Palin

A more accurate headline would read “Likely Alaskan Voters Don’t Want Either Obama or Palin”.

But what would be the fun of that. Think of the scores of wailing and “what’s wrong with Alaska!!!!” posts we’d miss.

What happened between 2008 and now? Oh, right! She QUIT on Alaska's voters.

That'll endear anyone to a candidate! /s

Nothing happened except that we are in between elections, Palin is still first in favorability with Republicans and their top choice for 2012.

Here are some recent polls, and they reflect more or less what we have seen for almost three years running, Palin either first or second.

Three days ago the AP-Gfk poll showed Palin as first in favorability among all GOP candidates with republicans

Twelve days ago The Economist/YouGov poll had her at first on the 2012 list as nominee choice.

Eighteen days ago the Reuters/IPSOS poll had Palin at first of the 2012 list as nominee choice.

[newzjunkey]

Are you shooting from your blind adulation for Palin hip or do you have some evidence that this IS a phony poll?

It's consistent with prior polls. It's likely voters. Just because YOU don't like it doesn't mean it doesn't reflect real opinion of AK voters.

[newzjunkey]

If she can't win her own Alaska, she can't win the presidency against Obama.

[ansel12]

Romney will cause the base to sit out the election like he did in 2008 when he could not fire them up for him.

Palin caused a higher turn out because she was on the ticket.

Palin and a billion dollars will be a campaign for the history books.

[RitaOK]

Is this guy Mercowski’s nephew, son, brother, significant other? I noticed he offered up the three zingers himself as the possible reasons for his suspicious findings against Palin and for Obama.

(And as you know I’m not a Palin first and only type, but really this is the real bridge to nowhere, surely.)

It's consistent with prior polls. It's likely voters.

Really?

Just because YOU don't like it doesn't mean it doesn't reflect real opinion of AK voters.

NO! More like you do like it so it must be true! Check out post #9 and others before you embarrass yourself some more. If you were a real newsjunkey - you would already know it - but I see - your news is bias.

[ansel12]

LOL, she will win Alaska don’t worry about that, Obama will not.

[kcvl]

Remember, the nutjobs who filed all those complaints against Palin had connections to the Anchorage Daily News.

I think it is just more BS!

Hays poll in 2008 grossly understated McCain/Palin strength in Alaska (said McCain/Palin ahead by 2.7% on November 4th, when actual margin of McCain/Palin victory in the state was 59.8% to 38%, a spread of 21.8%, MORE THAN 10X what Hays-Hole-in-the-Wall Polling called.

oh, yeah, ok, I fat fingered, sevenX, then.

Likely voters were surveyed in a live telephone interview, and were chosen from a database of Alaskan households with a member who has voted in at least two of the last four statewide elections.

Here is the question...
Although it is some time from now, thinking about the election for President of the United States next year, if the election were held today and the candidates were Democrat Barack Obama or Republican Sarah Palin, for whom would you vote or are you undecided?

Another result...note the combined positive and the dates.
