# of respondents, likely voter / registered voter / adult, Party Affiliation (leaners) / Tea Party Affiliation / leaners, various GOP names head-to-head or against Obaama, and with crosstabs.
Two possibilities come to mind.
1) They're trying to puff Sarah up to set expectations too high so that if another GOP candidate does better than the low bar set for THEM, they can declare that Sarah had a bubble but it burst, she'd waited too long, etc.
2) Admission against interest. Palin is really up by (for the sake of illustration, make up some large number) 35%+ over Obaama, which means the effect is REAL, and they can't get caught with TOO much egg on their face.
Cheers!
As someone mentioned on another site “that must mean Palins up by 28”.
